In response to residents\u2019 concerns, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has posted a notice on its website<\/a> alerting people that delays in service may continue because of \u201csevere weather conditions across the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs most areas in and around New York City continue to recover from the recent storm, postal carriers will make every reasonable attempt to deliver mail where it is safe to do so,\u201d a spokesperson for USPS told PIX11 News in a statement.<\/p>\n

According to the spokesperson, mounds of snow and patches of ice in front of mailboxes have created hazardous conditions for postal carriers.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarriers are not allowed to attempt door delivery when there is a heavy buildup of snow and ice on sidewalks, steps or porches. They are not allowed to dismount vehicles for curbside boxes blocked by snow and ice buildup.\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

As a result of the safety hazard, the postal service is urging residents to clear walkways, sidewalks, and approaches to mailboxes. Alternatively, customers are also advised to pick up mail from their local Post Office with ID.<\/p>\n
