• Moving can be an arduous process thats
  especially daunting during the winter. Cold
  weather, snow and/or ice can make your move
  challenging and more stressful. However, you
  shouldnt let this deter you from moving during
  the winter, because there are some ways to make
  it faster, easier and less stressful. Below are
  four things to help you master winter or cold
  weather moving.

Hire Movers

• Winter moves are tough, which is why they should
  always be left to experienced professionals. 
• Edmonton moving companies, like Pro Service

• With the help of movers like this, all youll
  have to do is supervise. We also have the
  equipment and expertise to move heavy and/or
  fragile furniture and appliances efficiently,
  while reducing the amount of time were exposed
  to the cold. Leaving the hard work to the
  professionals will also reduce the amount of time
  you spend in the cold, thus helping you evade
  sickness or injury.

5
Prepare for the Weather

• If youre moving during the winter, you should
  always check the weather for your moving day.
  Once youve checked the weather, prepare
  accordingly. For example, if snowfall is
  forecasted for that day, explore your options for
  postponing the move or have some shovels and rock
  salt handy.

• You should also prepare for the weather by
  dressing accordingly and bringing extra gloves,
  hats and scarves. Youll be more efficient if you
  stay bundled up and stay warm. Hot drinks and/or
  soups in thermoses are also a good way to keep
  you and your movers warm and happy.

7
Pack Your Belongings Safely

• Cold weather and moisture can have an adverse
  effect on certain items, so you need to pack
  sensibly. Before packing, ask an expert for the
  proper procedures for preparing your belongings
  for their ride. Wood items are particularly
  vulnerable to moisture and colder temperatures.
  Moreover, electronics are vulnerable to cold
  weather, so take care to ensure these items are
  bundled up and kept as warm as possible.

8
Keep the Floors and Walkways Clean and Safe

• Slippery or wet walkways and floors can be
  dangerous to your movers and slow down the moving
  process. So, keep walkways and high traffic areas
  clear of snow, ice, water and excess rock salt.
  Slush, ice and water on your floors and walkways
  can cause your movers to need to move more
  cautiously, thus slowing down the move. Make sure
  your driveway and walkway are shoveled and free
  of ice and excess rock salt.
