Area mail carriers expect to deal with more than their share of snow and sleet and freezing rain this year, but Postmaster H. C. Colwell reminds customers in the Milford area that his carriers will need some assistance during winter months. Rural carriers will make every reasonable effort to serve as many customers as possible during severe winter weather, but Colwell said carriers are not expected to leave their vehicles and provide service on foot w’hen

roads, entire blocks, or other large portions of their routes are impassable. “Rural carriers are expected to leave their vehicles to serve temporarily blocked individual boxes where there is no risk of personal injury or unusual physical exertion,” Colwell said, “but not when access to several mailboxes along a continuous segment of a route is blocked.” Colwell said his office keeps in close contact with traffic and weather advisories to determine if delivery should be suspended on a particular day. and with highway department officials to make sure public roads are passable and in good repair. “We need everyone’s cooperation in keeping approaches to boxes clear of snow and any other obstructions.” Colwell said, “so we can avoid cutting anyone’s mail delivery even temporarily.”
