Staying attuned to snowstorms and freezing temperatures that could impact your move is important when moving in winter months. A surprise snowstorm can swiftly alter your moving plans, enforcing delays or requiring a temporary storage solution. If meteorological conditions change, having professionals to steer through the storm can be invaluable. We at Stewart are prepared to make quick adjustments based on sudden changes in frosty weather that work with your moving schedule.
Winter's unpredictability calls for a proactive approach to your moving strategy. Start by planning ahead for weather-related setbacks to minimize disruptions.
When crafting your moving plan for the winter season, keep the following considerations in mind:
In the spirit of winter preparedness, having contingency plans and the right gear will make your moving day a cozy success.
When it comes to moving during winter, it's especially important to embrace adaptability. A part of being flexible is having alternative moving plans. Winter conditions can be unpredictable, so having a well-thought-out plan B—or even plan C—is crucial. In the event of a delay, it is important to have a storage plan in mind. Stewart Moving & Storage offers capabilities for storing your valuable items in case of a last minute change. Preparing your items for the potential of storage is a great way to avoid unexpected surprises.
Flexibility, coupled with tactical foresight, will help you navigate any winter-moving obstacle with ease. To increase flexibility before you move, make sure to de-clutter your previous space while packing. Parting with things that you do not need before moving to your new space will allow for quicker moving and less storage space if needed. If you need help decluttering before you go, we partner with local companies who can assist with selling your items. The more you can declutter before the big move, the easier it will be when settling into your cozy, new space.
Before the whirlwind of moving in the frosty months begins, don't forget to change your address—a crucial step in tying up loose ends. Confirming your details with essential services, from banks to health care providers, as well as commonly used shopping and gift registry sites, ensures your life continues undisrupted post-move. The winter months bring many celebrated holidays, which leads to an increase in mail and packages. Planning a change of address before your move will make sure your valuable messages from loved ones follow you to your new space. The first and most important step is completing the address change with your local post office, initiating mail forwarding.
