On Tuesday, UPS was still not making pickups or deliveries in metro Atlanta or parts of six other states, the company said in an early morning statement. FedEx also suspended pickup and delivery service in Georgia and some other parts of the Southeast.
It’s unlikely you received mail Tuesday, a U.S. Postal Service spokesman said. Trucks are having trouble getting to major processing plants to pick up mail and take it to delivery centers, Michael Miles, USPS spokesman for the Atlanta area.
The postal service contracts out to other truck drivers to transport most of the mail from the major processing centers, Miles said. Many of those workers are having trouble getting through the ice as well.
More locales will get mail on Wedndesday, I guess the old postal slogan needed to include ice.
