But while icy roads and snowy sidewalks can be a challenge, winter is one of the best times to move. Landlords are looking to fill vacant units, so rents are lowered, and slow season for moving companies often means you can get a discount.

Sometimes, a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bomb cyclone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> happens (even in Florida). Keep checking the weather leading up to your move so you know what you\u2019re in for. And just in case you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> see a bomb cyclone predicted for your moving day&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Be Clear on Weather Cancellation Policies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all hope it doesn\u2019t, but sometimes a bomb cyclone happens and your city\u2019s fleet of six broken-down snowplows has to take responsibility for plowing the streets that are home to a million people. While it\u2019s unlikely, you\u2019ll want to prepare for this scenario. Talk to the landlord of your current place and your new place about what protocol is if there\u2019s a last minute emergency that prevents you from moving. While you may need to pay extra if the situation does arise that you need to stay in your old place a little longer, you\u2019ll be grateful to be out of the cold and not sliding through the snow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Prepare to Shovel<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2560\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/snow-shovel-2001776_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"722\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your city ever gets snow, be ready to plow the morning of your move to have a large, clear path from your doorway to the moving truck &#8211; and maybe some extra space, too. Bostonians are masters of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caughtinsouthie.com\/features\/unofficial-rules\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">saving spaces with a cone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or lawn chair, or broken microwave, or anything, really) after they\u2019ve shoveled out a spot, and if you have a move coming up, you should learn from their tricks. Plow out a space the morning of (or if you can, the night before) your move, then mark the space with traffic cones so no one takes it. A better, less aggressive option? Contact your city before you move about getting special parking signage that only allows you to park in that spot during your move. And don\u2019t forget, you\u2019ll need to shovel out a spot at your new place, too!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make Sure Utilities Are Set Up, But Turn the Heat Down<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to survive the first night in your new home, clarify ahead of time with the power company that utilities at your new place are set up and turned on. Now, that doesn\u2019t mean crank the heat the second you walk in the door. For the first few hours, when you\u2019ll be moving items in and out, leave the heat turned to low (or off) to avoid it becoming a wasted expense as your door is left perpetually open. Likewise, once you\u2019re up and moving in your old place, turn the heat off &#8211; you\u2019ll likely be charged for that last day of utilities, so make it a cheaper one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Skip the Truck Rental And Save Your Insurance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2561\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Dolly-Helpers-tying-down-furniture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1001\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Driving on icy roads is hard enough even in a sporty Subaru. In a rented moving truck, it\u2019s nearly impossible. You put yourself at higher risk of getting in an accident (and in turn, raising your insurance premiums) when you drive a 10\u2019 box truck down frozen city streets while moving in winter. Instead, opt for a service like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/get-started\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=moving-snow-winter-cold\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dolly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that not only provides the truck, but also includes a quality driver who knows how to handle the roads. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Break Out Your Snow Gear<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start packing, pull out your toughest snow or hiking boots and set them aside for moving day. You\u2019re going to want comfortable boots that will provide support, but won\u2019t have you slipping on ice &#8211; regular sneakers just won\u2019t do for a winter move. Prepare your attire as if you\u2019re preparing to go out in a bomb cyclone: layers, layers, LAYERS! You\u2019ll likely pull off the top layers after lifting your first piece of furniture, but when you\u2019re standing outside of your new home, waiting for your movers to meet you there, you\u2019ll be grateful for the extra warmth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cocoon Your Electronics Against the Winter Cold<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that time you took a phone call outside on a frigid winter day and your phone died even though it was at 95%?

It can be scary for an animal &#8211; especially one that\u2019s spent most of its life living in one place &#8211; to be uprooted and go somewhere completely new. Have your pet spend moving day (and perhaps the day after you move, too) with a friend or relative who knows how to take care of them in the cold. And make sure you don\u2019t pack up their winter gear too quickly: dog snow boots in particular are items you\u2019ll want to keep on hand for easy access.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ziplocks and Waterproof Bins All the Way<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on what your winter move is like, you may be going three feet between your moving truck and your front door, or the distance might be three blocks. If it\u2019s snowing or raining hard enough, that distance (not to mention the water that may get into your truck) may be enough to damage your stuff.
