Moving during the Winter season can be a challenge! Some common tips we have shared to help reduce stress during a Winter move are to remember to clear the snow for movers, keep tabs on the weather, dress appropriately, protect your home from water and salt damage and be proactive in case of any injuries. You can read more about these past Winter moving tips from our St Catharines moving company here.
As we enter another snowy season, our St Catharines moving company, Bob the Mover Inc., we thought we would share ten more helpful tips for Winter moves.
1. Plan your move for the morning
2. Don’t rush
3. Check snowplow schedules
Depending on where you are moving, you may want to check their snow removal schedule. To avoid road blockages, route changes, or not being able to access your street on move day, it is important to confirm when the roads you need will be cleared.

4. Protect your furniture
5. Plan a safe travel route
6. Be sure your new utilities are up and running
7. Protect your house plants
Winter weather conditions mean you have to be extra careful with your houseplants. The drastic temperature changes could risk the health of your plants. Most movers do not move plants, so be sure your plant friends are the last to go into your cars and the first to be unpacked.
