Frequently Check The Weather Forecast

Check the weather forecast every week leading up to the move, and then every day the week of the move. If you see signs of trouble the week of your move, start to make alternate plans right away.

The last thing you want to deal with during a winter move is an unreliable or unprofessional moving crew. Do your research, ask for referrals, and check online reviews. Make sure a firm contract is in place that ensures you are not penalized for delays or issues caused by the weather or their team.

Pack all electronics into secure boxes and do not overcrowd the boxes. You may want to move expensive electronics personally. Electronics can be sensitive to cold temperatures so keep that in mind. Wrap them up in bubble wrap and towels to keep them warm and protected during the move.

Be sure the furnace and heating system is working properly in the property you are moving to. You do not want to be stuck in a new home or apartment without heat.

If you have overflow or oversized items that require storage, be sure to choose a secure climate-controlled storage unit. Many items can be destroyed by cold temperatures.

Proper planning is essential for a winter move. Take the time to create a checklist and use it. If you are moving and need storage locally in the Winder area, contact 316 Self Storage. We offer the best in clean, safe, and secure storage.
