Got Questions?
- Moving in Snow
Most people don’t like moving in the snow. That’s why companies such as Good Stuff Moving are willing to do it for you. Let us be the ones who carry all those heavy boxes and slippery pieces of furniture to the waiting truck and then unload that truck at your destination. Really, we enjoy doing it, and we’re here to help!
But if you are still needing or wanting to do some moving in the snow, here are a few tips for you to be successful.
1 – Limber Up.
Ever seen a lion limber up before chasing down a gazelle? Neither have we, but we aren’t lions. If you are planning on moving heavy furniture across ice or snow slicked driveways and sidewalks, take a few seconds to stretch out your legs and arm muscles. It is really easy to slip on the ice and receive a partial tear to your Achilles’ tendon or other muscle. A few quick stretches will also mentally prepare you for being on the receiving end of any heavy object.
2 – Prepare the Driveway or Sidewalk
Take a second to grab a broom or shovel and chip away at the ice and snow that have accumulated where you will be walking. Perhaps you need to widen a driveway? Maybe even throw some empty cardboard boxes down on key areas. Any bit of traction will help. And for the heaviest furniture, if there is enough snow and ice, a cardboard box can act like a scooter; simply carefully plant the furniture on the cardboard box, and then gently slide and glide towards the truck. (Warning – this is not something professionals do, but in a pinch…)
3 – Stay Properly Fueled and Hydrated
You are going to be sweating. In possibly subzero temperatures. While messing around with your buddies. Chances are, you will become tired and thirsty really quickly. Keep a ready supply of room temperature water available for everyone, and make sure you are replenishing your system every half an hour or so.
These are just a few of the common sense tips we’ve learned for successfully and safely moving in the snow. Be sure to stay safe and have fun with your move. And remember, if you need help moving, even in the coldest of months, give Good Stuff Moving a call, we’ll be glad to help out any way we can!
