LITTLE ROCK — The U.S. Postal Service is asking Arkansas residents to dig plowed snow away from mailboxes so mail carriers can reach them.
Folks who take delivery at the front of their homes or businesses are asked to clear snow and ice from walkways and steps. Arkansas postal district manager David Camp said Thursday that carriers are working to deliver to as many people as possible but the ice and snow is a hindrance in some areas.
Camp also asks residents to move vehicles away from mail boxes and to shovel any snow drifts that may be blocking access.
And Camp says it's important that children be kept from playing near mail receptacles while mail carriers are present.
