Mail carriers challenged by snow and ice
Whether it falls in inches or feet, snow and ice create a challenge for mail carriers as they attempt to safely deliver to western New York homes and businesses.
That’s why the U.S. Postal Service is once again asking customers for their assistance by clearing snow and ice from walkways, driveways, porches and areas around the mailbox.
“Slips, trips and falls continue to be the most frequent type of injury sustained by our carriers,” said Western NY District Manager Jean Lovejoy. “And as winter conditions worsen, so do the number of accidents. By simply clearing the way, customers help reduce the risk.”
Please help mail carriers provide the best delivery service possible, as safely as possible. Mail carriers will thank you, every step of the way.
