LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - The U.S. Postal Service issued a statement Tuesday, reminding people to clear driveways and walkways so their mail can be delivered.

That reminder came a day after Kentucky was hit with a record-setting storm. Most people in the region saw 8 inches to 12 inches of snow, but Pike County reportedly saw 18 inches. Lexington set an all-time recorded at 10.2 inches for the fourth snowiest day ever.

At the same time, we must insure the safety of our carriers along their routes. Were asking that customers take caution themselves as they clear a path for their letter carrier.
