Moving in the winter

I think there was not a single person on this planet who enjoys the process of relocating.

When you have to pack up all of your belongings, put them in boxes, and relocate them across any distance…

Things get very chaotic and tumultuous. It’s even worse if you are traveling across states or differing climate conditions. I guess this is something that I completely forgot about when I was arranging my most recent move. In my climate, the winter air temperature is always extremely mild and comfortable. You can easily wear a sweatshirt everyday and turn off your central heating, cooling, and ventilations this done entirely. You really don’t have to worry about operating a forced air furnace or a powerful cooling system because you can rely on natural ventilation for the entire winter season. However, I never considered that I was going to be moving to a very different climate. In fact, I was going to be relocating my stuff to a snowy, icy, freezing cold region of the country. I didn’t even realize that I had made this fatal flaw till I started driving in the moving truck towards my final destination and snow started hitting the windshield. I actually had to turn on the heating system in the truck and it was having a difficult time keeping up with the cold air that surrounded us. When I finally reached my new home, I didn’t even want to get out of the warm vehicle. It was so cold outside that I didn’t think I could carry a single box without getting frostbite. Three weeks later, the moving truck is still sitting in the driveway and I haven’t left the central heating system.
