How to Move in Bad Weather Without Ruining All of Your Things

by | Mar 16, 2017 | Features

While there are plenty of things you can plan for on moving day, weather just isn’t always one of them. Rain, wind, sleet, and snow can all wreak havoc on an otherwise perfectly coordinated moving day. That’s why it’s important to prepare for the worst case scenario ahead of time. Depending on the location of your move, those planning a relocation during the cold weather months will need to be especially careful to preempt winter storms and icy roads. Likewise, those moving in the summer heat will need to consider the elements ahead of time.

Key Takeaways:

  • Before moving day, be sure to plan for bad weather
  • There are different things to plan for depending on the season of your move
  • You should plan to protect your self, your belongings, and your new home

“From spontaneous summer rain showers to unexpected winter storms, there’s only so much you can predict when it comes to your local forecast.”
