Winter in New York City…recently, it’s seemed to be a bit rough.

With snow storms still pounding the East Coast, moving to New York City might seem daunting if not impossible.

New York movers, Morgan Manhattan, have over 150 years of experience moving people. They know how to handle any extreme weather that the big city throws their way.

With state-of-the-art equipment, they have all the tools necessary to move your belongings. They also have a few winter moving tips for you to help make the move even smoother:

  • Utilities- You are going to want to have your utilities hooked up in your new home. If possible, have the utility company turn it on a couple days before you move in so your home is nice and warm.
  • Make a Path- Clear out the snow from all of your walkways and be sure to lay down some salt to help with the ice.  When you are moving heavy objects, the last thing you want is to slip and fall.
  • Save the Floor- Lay down tarps so that your floor isn’t ruined from the salt and slush.
  • Be Flexible- Watch the weather intently. If a blizzard is heading right for the city, you might not want to start driving then. If it is for a move-in day, you may want to prioritize what you move in and quicken the speed. Just stay informed and alert, but be ready to have a change of plans. Talk to your mover about a second move date just in case a storm hits.
  • Pack Correctly- Instead of having just one box of essentials, set aside a box just for winter gear. Keep your warm coats and accessories with you as well as a shovel and salt. Have all of the equipment you would need in case of an emergency. This will come in handy for your move out, your drive, and moving in.
