Road Conditions<\/h3>\n
Are you moving farther than just across town? Depending on where you are going, the road conditions could be a little dicey. Snow, ice, and rain can all cause a threat to your move. Make sure your cars have the proper chains and tires needed for driving in less ideal conditions. Before your move, you can check the roads to see if maybe you need to change your route or postpone transporting your\u00a0belongings.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\nWinter Supplies<\/h3>\n
In the haste of packing and trying to get everything done before your move, make sure that you don\u2019t pack up the stuff you may need while moving! This could be ice scrapers, chains for your tires, shovel, and whatever else you may need in case of snow or icy conditions. It is also a good idea to keep extra towels around if you need to wipe down any boxes or belongings that you don\u2019t want to be damaged from rain.<\/p>\n
Make a Plan B<\/h3>\n
We all know that things don\u2019t always go the way that we imagined them. Especially when moving in the winter time, it is always important to come up with a backup plan. Snow storms can come from any moment, heavy rains can induce flooding in the area, and ice can prevent you from driving to your new home. In case any of these things were to happen or anything else for that matter, it is always good to have a second plan ready to go.<\/p>\n
Packing<\/h3>\n
Just like you shouldn\u2019t pack your ice picks and shovels, make sure that you don\u2019t pack your winter clothes! Even though you think you will be warm and working hard while you are loading and unloading everything, very easily could you catch a cold or hypothermia. When it\u2019s raining it is even worse, and it is smart to plan for things like gloves, jackets, and boots. Another thing that doesn\u2019t hurt to have on hand is tarp covers.\u00a0Heavy-duty, waterproof tarps are essential for keeping mud and stains from your furniture and belongings.<\/p>\n
