The new slow down in service doesn’t appear to be weather-related. However, the USPS did issue a statement.
While delivery may be impacted in some areas due to road closures, impassable roads, and inaccessibility of mailboxes, USPS will make every attempt to deliver to all addresses. We ask customers to keep the approach to their mailbox clear by promptly removing obstructions, including snow, which may make normal delivery of mail from a vehicle difficult or impossible.
