In Halmstad, Sweden, postal worker Mikael Karlsson has described this winter as one of the worst ever for mail carriers due to high snowbanks from plows and packed snow making surfaces slippery. He appealed to Halmstad municipality to consider workers in these conditions, calling the job very time-consuming and physically demanding. On the municipality's website, it states that the municipality does not de-ice residential streets, making exceptions only in residential areas with steep hills.
SVT Nyheter Halland has contacted the responsible person at the municipality's Technical and Property Administration but received no response.
