Around here, everybody just has a pull off spot in front of the box for the mail jeep. Keeps the post well away from the snow plows. Downside is, every time they plow the road, I have to fire up the tractor and move the snow out of the pull off so the mail truck can get in. When the county repaved the roads this summer, they paved all the pull offs as well.
