Check The Weather Regularly 
It's always a good idea to plan your moving days as far in advance as you can. With that being said, the winter months can be very unpredictable. If you are concerned about the days leading up to the move, call the moving company to express your concerns. It is always better to hold off than be stuck in a snowstorm. If the moving company contacts you about weather concerns, listen. No one can predict or control the weather and everyone's safety must be put first.
Clear Walkways For The Old And New Home
You should always be aware, regardless of the time of year, what your potential hazards are in your current and new home. You want the move in process to be as safe as possible. It would be a very good idea to visit your home one last time before the designated move in day. This is especially important in the winter months to make notes for snow and ice hazards.
You should prepare the area with sand or ice around the walkways. Be aware of parking hazards and make sure you're not in the way of the plowing trucks if there is snow. Always think of the movers and or you when moving your belongings, you won't want your items trudging through the snow.
Keep Winter Clothing Close By
Even if you hire a moving company you can find yourself still being in the cold weather through the day. If there is snow in the forecast pack extra blankets and change of clothes for your first night.
Protect The Floors
When moving through snow you can track in a lot of sludge and make a mess in your new home. You would not want to track the rock salt. It would be wise to place in floor mats and tarps around the door entrances and cover up the tile and carpet. If there is carpet through the whole house use cardboard sheets to cover the walkways.
Pack Your Items For Winter
Most people think you can pack your belongings in the same manner between the winter and summer months. The most obvious difference is of course the weather. Some items will need extra care such as: instruments, china, antique furniture, anything with delicate wood, electronics, and all things fragile that could be subject to damage from the cold. Just put a few extra layers on these fragile items to ensure the safety of them during the move.
Stock Up On Winter Supplies
It's always a good idea in your new and old home to keep salt, sand, or shovels in stock. A snow blower would be even better to have! The days are shorter in the winter so you have less to work with daylight. Also consider having a space heater at the ready just in case it gets colder than expected.
Make Sure Utilities Are Working
It would be the absolute worst if you finish the whole move in process just to be stuck in the dead cold with no working heat or lighting. Be sure to know if the utilities are working beforehand, so you can get anything scheduled to fix early on or before you're in. Double check that your heat, water, electricity, and other essentials are in working order minimum 2 days before you move in.
