Don't Sweat Your Winter Move - Top Tips for Moving in February

February 6, 2025

The thought of moving during the winter months, particularly in February, can be a daunting one. Cold weather, slick roads, and shorter daylight hours can all add a layer of complication to the already stressful process of moving. But don't let that deter you; with some strategic planning and expert assistance, moving in February can be just as seamless as any other time of the year. As your trusted movers, Midas Touch Moving LLC is here with some top tips to ensure your winter move goes off without a hitch.


1. Start Early and Be Prepared


Due to the shorter daylight hours in winter, it's best to start your moving activities early in the day. Plan your move ahead of time and make sure everything is well-packed and ready to go when our professional movers arrive. Having a well-structured moving checklist can help keep you organized and ensure nothing is overlooked.


2. Protect Your Belongings 


Winter weather can be harsh on your belongings. To avoid damage due to freezing temperatures or melting snow, consider our packing services. We use high-quality packing materials to ensure your items, especially fragile ones, are properly protected.


3. Keep an Eye on the Weather


Monitor the weather conditions leading up to your moving day. In case of severe weather, don't hesitate to reschedule your move. Midas Touch Moving LLC understands that safety comes first and offers flexible scheduling to accommodate such changes.


4. Clear Your Pathways


Ensure all driveways, sidewalks, and paths are clear of snow and ice on the moving day. A safe and clear path will make the furniture moving process more efficient and prevent accidents.


5. Heat On, but Low


Keep your heat on to provide a warm welcome for the movers and to ensure that your new house is habitable as soon as you step in. But, keeping it low will conserve energy while the doors are frequently opened and closed.


6. Comfortable Clothing


Dress in layers for varying indoor and outdoor temperatures and ensure you have a sturdy pair of boots for better grip on icy surfaces.


7. Keep Essentials On You


Keep a bag of essentials, including warm clothing, hot drinks, and snacks, reachable. Remember, the aim is to keep yourself comfortable during the move.


8. Let the Professionals Handle It


With our residential moving service, there's no need to worry about the stress of moving, no matter what time of the year it is. We are seasoned professionals and can handle the challenges that winter moves might present.


9. Moving Longer Distances? 


Our long-distance moving service is perfect for those moving from one city—or even one state—to another. We ensure the safe and efficient transportation of your items across large distances.


10. Take Advantage of Lower Costs


February is often an off-peak time for moving, meaning you can potentially secure lower costs and greater availability. Midas Touch Moving LLC provides affordable residential movers without compromising on service quality.


Moving during the winter months, particularly in February, might seem like a daunting task. But with a bit of planning, the right moving company, and some pro-tips, you can turn this potentially stressful event into a smooth and efficient process.
