Postal Service Returns in Maine After Blizzard

PORTLAND, Maine - Postal service is back online in most of Maine, where all post offices will be open in the aftermath of this week's blizzard.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service says the post offices are reopening Wednesday. Mail will be delivered in most of the state in areas where roads, streets and mailboxes are safely accessible. The postal service is asking residents to clear mailboxes and steps so postal workers will be able to safely do their jobs in the wake of the blizzard, which dumped two feet of snow in parts of the state.

The service says delivery could be delayed or curtailed if conditions are unsafe for carriers.
