Moving Tips (NAPSA)—There are many natural wonders associated with winter, but for people who find themselves moving to an unfamiliar cold-weather climate, it can be daunting and worrisome. United Van Lines, the nation’s largest mover, offers the following tips for making the most out of a new winter playground: Bundle up. When packing for your move, make sure you keep warm clothes handy. Pack items such as hats, scarves, gloves, boots and coats for the entire family. Safe travels. If you are driving to your destination, make sure to stock your car with safety provisions, including a flashlight, first-aid kit, bottled water andtire chains. Winterize your home. To prevent unnecessary slips and falls, purchase a snow shovel andbag of ice melt and keep your driveway and front steps clear. Install an easy-to-read outdoor thermometer—you'll be able to keep an eye on falling and rising temperatures and plan accordingly. And before throwing a log on the fire, make sure the chimney and flue are swept and inspected. * Get acquainted. Become familiar with your new city’s local radio and TV stations to stay aware of any road, school and other business closures. Also, get recommendations for a local family physician in case the winter flu strikes. * Go play. Take the family out for a day in the snow and enjoy the season’s offerings—thereis a winter activity for everyone! For additional moving information, visit www.unitedvanlines.com.
