My friends in Colorado just got a healthy foot of snow (even in town) so the idea of moving right now is not the least bit attractive. The last couple times I have moved, we have been super fortunate with decent weather and relatively easy access to the house/garage.
A couple “moves” ago, we hired a company to do the moving and I can’t express enough how magical that whole experience was. Simply filling our car with some “breakables” and waiting for the truck to arrive at the new house was sublime.
