For most people, moving is never much fun. But moving in bad weather is even less so. Beyond the physical discomfort of having to schlep your stuff around in the wet, cold weather, those belongings also need extra protection from the elements. How can you better ensure that everything makes it while staying warm and dry? Here are a few tips to put into practice.  1. Invest In Protective Packaging. Skip those free cardboard boxes from your local grocery store and opt for tougher packing choices.

When you lock your belongings in a self-storage unit, you expect them to stay safe while they're out of your sight.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to keep from attracting rodents.
