This case involved management requiring rural carriers during a snow storm to park their vehicle, dismount and deliver by walking to each box on portions of the route. The parties agree that rural carriers are not required to dismount and provide service on foot when roads or entire blocks, or equally large portions of the route, are impassable or when access to several mailboxes (along a continuous segment of the route) is blocked.
