We all want uninterrupted postal service, but that's just not always possible. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has a responsibility to ensure the safety of its employees, customers, and our mail. And sometimes, that means operations can't proceed normally. Over time, we have seen the Postal Service suspend deliveries because of aggressive animals, and close post offices in the midst of natural disasters. Now, the agency been forced to suspend services in six different states.
If you were planning to head to the post office anytime soon, you may need to change your plans depending on where you live. The latest updates to the USPS Service Alerts website indicate that a significant number of facilities have just been shut down in multiple areas.
As of Feb. 24, more than 100 post offices are currently closed temporarily in six states: California, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The affected post offices may be spread across six different states, but they are all experiencing similar issues right now.
The Palomar Mountain Post Office in California was closed on Feb. 23 "due to winter storms," the USPS said in one alert. Separately, the Postal Service cited "weather" as the reason for the closures in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

That’s ancient Greek.
That was before they let the deadbeat bureaucrats unionize and form The Deep State.
I heard that as “Neither sleet nor slut nor God knows what....”
The post office near me was nearly closed. The building was actually up for sale. Apparently the neighborhood associations pushed back because they decided to not close it.
It was never the Post Office official motto though, was it?
Well - OK, if you say so, but my question is, how were they able to Unionize in the 19th century, when that wasn’t made legal till Kennedy?
Exactly. They are supposed to deliver the mail, no matter what.
If we’re supposed to abide by that poem on the French statue in New York, than the USPS can follow their motto.
Ha!!
The part about “Give Us Your Wretched Refuse”? Is that the Postal Service too? They call it “Bulk Business Mail” these days.
