Winter weather advisories and storm warnings are in effect across parts of Wisconsin today, with icy conditions creating hazards for both drivers and pedestrians.
The U.S. Postal Service is urging residents to keep mailboxes, steps, and sidewalks clear of snow and ice. Officials say this helps letter carriers deliver mail safely and efficiently during the stormy stretch.
They’re asking customers to:
Clear enough snow from curbside mailboxes so postal trucks can pull in, deliver, and pull away without backing up.
Keep walkways and steps free of snow and ice to prevent slips or falls.
Make sure overhangs are clear of ice or snow that could fall and cause injury.
Remove obstacles—like trash cans or parked vehicles—from the approach to roadside mailboxes.
Postal officials emphasize that carriers need to access mailboxes safely without leaving their vehicles during hazardous weather.
