I have not seen a carrier in GA walk in about 10 years, and when we get more than a few inches of snow they do not even deliver. Granted, when we get more than a couple of inches of snow everything shuts down, but they do not walk.
I am originally from MN and the carriers used to walk in rain, sleet and snow, but they no longer do. During the last couple of years my dad was very sick and I spent much time up there. They do not walk, even in the summer.

It depends....folks in many suburbs, country roads and even some city neighborhoods have mounted mail boxes at the end of their driveways out on the road. Many other older city neighborhoods have mail boxes on their porches or slots in their front doors so walking postal workers are necessary. I’ve lived in differing communities and I have seen both types of deliveries....the walkers and the drivers.

Our city carriers walk. Our shortest walking route is over 8 miles of walking per day. Our longest walking route is 17 miles of walking. Snow days included.

We did shut the post office down ONE DAY following the 18” of snow Feb 1st. No mail trucks could get to our PO so we had no mail to deliver anyway.
