1. Are My Movers Moving Today?
Snow falling from above is known to slow down human life drastically in west New York. The roads are covered, the streets are empty, and there are not of professionals in operation. So, it is always wise to double-check with your moving company whether they are on schedule or not? Make the call once the snowing is halted, as you never know how much it may snow. It can be a blizzard close the whole town for the rest of the week, you never know.
2. When is the Snow Stopping?
Keep the weather in check, as I said we never know when the sky is going to stop throwing cotton on us. So, keep a firm check on the weather updates from at least a week before the day of moving, for preparing early.
3. Should I Plan Ahead for any Delays?
This rule does not apply only in the winters, it applies throughout the year, we never know what may happen next minute, so it is ideal for planning ahead for the delays. Nonetheless, in winter, planning ahead is not an option; it is a compulsion as you do not have a lot of hours with sunlight, unlike summers. Also, life in winters is slow, decelerating the heavy-duty tasks like moving.
4. Do I have to Clear the Walkways for Moving?
You need to assist your movers as much or little as you can if you want to get the work done quickly. So, the first and the most significant change you can make here is clearing the sidewalks and walkways for your current and, if possible new home too. Clear walkways and paths will make it easier for the movers to load and then drop your things at your new habitat. You can sand or salt the area if there is a need. When you are moving to a whole new city or town, call up a friend or agent to have a check of your new property.
5. How to Prepare My House for Moving in Snow?

- Use plastic or cardboard sheets to save the carpet.
- Supervise the moving.
- Moving in snow hard, so prepare a lot of hot beverages and offer them time to time.
- Clear the parking area for any snow.
