Things To Consider When Moving In The Winter
Moving is already a challenging and time-consuming task, but it's made all the more stressful with bad winter weather. Snow and ice can introduce a world of problems and complications for your move, which is why there are many additional things to consider when moving during the winter season.
Connect with JB Moving LLC today to learn more about the many moving services that we offer and how we can be of service during your move no matter what the season brings.
The Forecast
Keeping an eye on the weather forecasts is important no matter what the season, but even more so during the winter. Winter weather can be downright dangerous, especially for those who are inexperienced. Before you plan the important aspects of your move, consider what the forecasts are saying.
We recommend avoiding any sort of travel on days where snow or freezing rain are predicted. Try to travel on days that are considerably dry and not below freezing if you can manage. The weather may also impact how you can pack your items into the truck.
The Time Of Day
Winter is known to be dark as the sun sets earlier and earlier. The time of day that you choose to move can be affected by the winter sun. In some areas, the sun may set as early as 4:30 in the afternoon. We recommend that you start your move as early in the day as possible. Have your items packed up and ready to be loaded up in the truck the night before so that you can get an early start. The earlier you start, the faster you will be at your new destination (likely before the sun sets, depending on how far).
Your New Home's Utilities
If the place where you're moving is a place that experiences winter, make sure that the home has utilities all set up and ready to go before you get there. The worst thing that could happen is you get there and there's no heat to keep you safe and warm on your first night there. Better safe than sorry, so be sure that you have your utilities turned on and ready to go before you move everything you own.
