December 4, 2017 at 10:40 pm | 3 Tips to Make Cold-Weather Moves a Little Easier

Brr! Have you noticed that the temperature is really starting to drop lately? As winter blows its way through Pennsylvania, you might be dreading your upcoming move. After all, who wants to spend a whole day moving boxes and furniture with frozen fingers?

If you and your family are packing up and moving homes this winter season, here are a few tips from our team here at Dan the Mover, one of the top moving companies in the Doylestown, PA area, that will make the cold-weather moving process a little easier!

  • Dress in layers. When you wake up on the day of the move, you’ll probably want to keep yourself wrapped up in the warmest clothing you have. Dressing in layers is a good idea during a winter move because you might underestimate how much working to pack up your life will cause you to heat up. By layering a few sweatshirts and pairs of socks, you can easily shed clothing should you get overheated. After all, moving is a lot of work!
  • Keep the winter supplies out and ready. Avoid packing up things like ice picks, shovels and road salt, even if it is not snowing when you start to move. Winter weather can be fickle, and freezing rain or even snow can start at the drop of a hat. It’s better and safer to have your winter supplies out and ready in case the weather decides to change its course during the day of your move.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Moving during the winter can be dangerous, especially if you’ve had previous issues with your joints. Low temperatures can exacerbate joint and muscle problems. The benefits of hiring a moving company are especially there when it comes to the winter season because more help means less time spent out in the cold to risk injury.

If you and your family are moving this winter, do yourself a favor and get the assistance that you need! Give our movers in North Wales, PA a call today at 215-309-8222 for a free estimate, and stay safe this winter!
