Officials are asking for the public's assistance in keeping mailboxes, steps, and sidewalks clear of snow and ice so letter carriers can provide safe and efficient deliveries when operations resume.
"Safety is a top priority, and we appreciate customers' patience and understanding to keep our employees out of harm's way," said a USPS spokesperson.
