Moving during winter presents unique challenges. Cold temperatures, rain or snow and shortened daylight hours can complicate the process. Proper planning ensures a successful winter move.

Prepare for the weather

• Check the forecast. Build flexibility into your moving schedule in case of inclement weather.
• Protect floors. Lay down cardboard or plastic sheeting to prevent mud and moisture from damaging floors.
• Clear pathways. If there is ice or snow, shovel and salt walkways for safety.

Protect your belongings

• Use climate‑controlled storage. Electronics, instruments and wood furniture are susceptible to cold and moisture. Climate control prevents cracking or warping.
• Wrap items carefully. Use blankets, bubble wrap and waterproof coverings to shield belongings.

Plan logistics

• Book movers early. Winter is a slower season, but availability may still be limited around holidays.
• Reserve a storage unit. If you need temporary space, secure a unit ahead of time to avoid last‑minute stress.
