❄️ Moving in the Winter?
Moving during the winter months in Kansas isn’t always easy cold mornings, icy sidewalks, and unpredictable snow can turn an already busy day into a big challenge. But don’t worry with a little planning (and the right moving team), your winter move can go off without a hitch!
At City Boys Moving & Delivery, we’ve handled moves in all kinds of weather from hot summer days to snowy winter mornings and we’ve learned what works best to keep things safe, quick, and stress-free. Whether you’re relocating to a new home, moving offices, or just need a big item delivered, we’re here to help every step of the way.
🧊 Why Winter Moves Can Be Tricky
Winter brings its own set of moving challenges — icy sidewalks, slippery driveways, shorter daylight hours, and freezing temperatures. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait until spring to settle into your new place. In fact, moving in the winter can have some perks: movers tend to have more flexible scheduling, and you might even save some money by booking during the off-season.
Still, being prepared makes all the difference. Here are a few ways to make your winter move a success — and how to help your movers make the process even smoother.
🔹 5 Steps to Make Your Winter Move Easier for You (and the Movers!)
1️⃣ Clear Driveways, Sidewalks, and Entryways
Before moving day, take a few minutes to shovel and salt the paths around your home. Clear entryways not only keep your movers safe but also speed up the loading and unloading process. It’s a small step that makes a huge difference — especially when carrying heavy furniture or boxes.
2️⃣ Protect Your Floors
Snow, ice, and salt can do a number on your floors. Before the movers arrive, lay down cardboard, rugs, or plastic coverings in the main walkways. Our crew always takes care to keep your space clean, but this extra step helps prevent slush and mud from tracking inside.
3️⃣ Keep Essential Items Warm and Accessible
Fragile items — like electronics, candles, and glassware — don’t always handle cold temperatures well. Store them in a warm area and load them last. You’ll also want to keep a winter essentials box handy: gloves, extra layers, paper towels, cleaning supplies, and maybe even a thermos of coffee or cocoa to keep everyone warm! ☕
4️⃣ Have Towels, Blankets, and Tarps Ready
Kansas weather can turn quickly. Having a few towels or blankets nearby helps protect furniture if it starts to snow during your move. We always come prepared with moving blankets and covers, but an extra set on hand never hurts — especially for things like mattresses or electronics.
5️⃣ Warm Up the House Before Moving In or Out
If possible, make sure the heat is on in your new home before you arrive. A warm space keeps everyone more comfortable and prevents cold-sensitive items from getting damaged. Your movers (and your hands) will thank you!
