Lubbock Post Offices Delayed Due to Winter Weather

There's a reason your mailbox was empty today. The weekend's intense snowstorm left local-area Post Offices unable to deliver mail Monday, Dec. 28.

The U.S. Postal Service says it will "evaluate conditions on a daily basis and attempt deliveries where it is deemed safe for our employees." Which means if conditions don't improve by Tuesday, citizens may experience a second day of no mail.

To help postmen and postwomen deliver mail, the U.S. Postal Service suggests residents' mailbox areas should be completely clear of snow, ice, sleet, slush, as well as the areas leading to their mailboxes.

Customers can call the Postal Service's toll-free number 800-ASK-USPS (800-275-8777) or the TTY number 877-TTY-2HLP (877-889-2457) for assistance.
