Ask a home mover when it is best to move house and they will tell you to do it in spring or summer. Warm weather makes the moving day more pleasant! Moving in autumn or winter adds complications like rain, wind, frost and snow. But sometimes you have to plan on moving home in bad weather!
Moving Home in Bad Weather
Weather and travel forecasts – Whenever there is bad weather on the way, check the local weather forecast and traffic reports for your route. If there is snow, flooding or frost, there could be traffic jams or road closures. You may need an alternative route.
Parking –Try to park as close to the door as possible if conditions are bad
Access – If there is snow or ice, clear it from walkways before carrying anything to or from a house!
Keeping clean – if there is mud and slush, take precautions to keep both old and new properties clean. Lay towels or cardboard around entrances.
Moving In Rain, Wind, Frost Or Snow
Once you know what weather to expect, it is time to get the appropriate clothing. Waterproof shoes are a must in rain or snow, as are hooded coats, gloves and hats. On the moving day, get up early and check out the weather and traffic reports again. Some conditions are dangerous to drive in, so be aware of the risk of a last-minute cancellation.
When travelling in, you hire a van, go slowly. Rain, frost or snow create unsafe roads as well as poor visibility. Going too fast can lead to an accident. Add time to your schedule if necessary.
