Prep Your New Home Ahead of Time
If you have the opportunity to do some staging at your new home before you move, take time to lay down some protective coverings on your floors that can prevent mud and water from being tracked all over the house. You can also leave cleaning supplies ahead of time as well as other moving accessories like furniture pads to make getting into your new place in bad weather more manageable.

Protect Your Belongings
Once you determine that lousy weather will appear during your move, it’s a good idea to protect your stuff as best as you can. You can cover your furniture with plastic sheeting to prevent rain or snow from damaging it, and you could opt for plastic totes instead of cardboard boxes for packing smaller items. Extra-large trash bags are also great to have on hand for moving in the snow, sleet, or rain.
Streamline Your Move as Much as Possible
Bad weather will only make things worse if you don’t prepare appropriately for your move. Try to start packing nonessential items as far in advance as you can and consider renting a storage unit or moving “pod” to keep these items safe until you can bring them into your new home.

On the day of your move, make sure you can get your moving truck as close to the new house as possible. Be careful not to damage the truck or anything on your property, but you typically want to be as close as possible to the easiest ingress of your new home, so moving goes quickly in the bad weather.
Call Professional Movers
Ultimately, moving can be incredibly stressful even in great weather. Whether you have lots of heavy items that require multiple people to move or a load of smaller containers that would take forever to carry into your new home on your own, calling professional movers can make moving during any kind of weather easier and faster.
