United States Postal Service Strategic Communications Specialist Mark Inglett said while it can be cold, his crews are prepared for any weather.

“Obviously, you want to dress in layers. You want to recognize signs of frostbite, hypothermia things like that you know your body is telling you there’s something wrong so we make sure they recognize those signs well ahead of time,” said Inglett.

Inglett said postal carriers are trained to earth healthy, stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest.

“They go out there well equipped, and they go out there educated out there so we’re in good shape and we’re ready,” said Inglett.
