How Can Weather Conditions Affect Your Residential Move?
Winter is just around the corner in Colorado, which means colder weather, potential snow storms and windy days. Because weather conditions play a significant role in the smoothness and success of a residential move, the moving experts at Cowboy Moving & Storage put together this list of tips and information to make your move easier during inclement weather.
When It Rains
Rain can damage your belongings if you’re not careful. Exposed furniture, boxes or electronics can be damaged if they aren’t protected. Because wet surfaces can be slippery, there’s more of a risk of accidents while loading or unloading your moving van or truck, so be careful and don’t wear shoes with slick bottoms. There can also be mud on your movers’ feet, so try to have a floor mat or old rug by the entrance to capture mud from their shoes.
Moving During Snow And Ice
If you’re moving during snowy or icy weather in Colorado, there are several issues to be prepared for. First, snow and ice can block driveways, roads and access points. This can make it challenging for moving trucks to get close to your home. Be prepared for delays. Plus, moving trucks can have problems navigating snowy or icy roads, which could cause delays. In addition, if your movers are carrying heavy items on icy ground, it increases the risk of falls and injuries. To make it easier for your movers, be sure to salt or shovel walkways and use waterproof materials like plastic wrap or tarps on snowing moving days.
If It’s Windy
If it’s windy on your moving day, it can be difficult for your movers to carry large furniture or boxes, especially if they are going up exterior stairs or ramps. If boxes and belongings aren’t secured properly, high winds could knock them over as well.
