The U.S. Postal Service has a request for area residents as they wait for the thaw after Winter Storm Blair.
The USPS is reminding customers that it is important to keep walkways, sidewalks, and areas around mailboxes clear from snow and ice in order to help letter carriers provide safe and timely deliveries.
The USPS says postal employees make every reasonable effort to deliver mail in many different weather conditions, but snow and patches of ice in front of mailboxes can make it difficult for letter carriers to work safely. Customers that receive curbside delivery should also make sure there is a clear access point to their mailbox for letter carriers who deliver from the street.
Meanwhile, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is encouraging drivers who have made appointments to visit driver licensing regional offices this week to consider postponing their appointments if possible. Licensing offices across the state are dealing with weather impacts and limited staffing availability. Drivers are also reminded that remote driver’s license renewal options are available online at drive.ky.gov.
