Moving process is unpleasant with no heat

In the last four years, my son has switched apartments four times.

My husband and I always end up helping him with the whole moving process.

Unfortunately, my son’s lease runs out at the same time each year. In the northeastern part of the country, moving in early January is a very bad idea. The outside temperature is typically well below zero with snow on the ground, snow falling from the sky and a bitter windchill. Last year was especially awful because of a winter blizzard. We arrived at my son’s apartment to begin the process, and found that he’d failed to pack up all of his possessions in preparation. It took several hours to box up all of his clothing, kitchen items and assorted stuff and haul his furniture to the moving van and my husband’s truck. Because the heat was turned off in the apartment, we could see our breath. I was the unlucky one who got stuck driving the moving van over icy roads with limited visibility. It didn’t take long to figure out that the heater in the vehicle wasn’t working. My husband, my son and I then devoted several hours to carrying his belongings up the stairs and into his new apartment. Since we were opening and closing the door repeatedly, my son was unwilling to turn up the thermostat. Even wearing a wool coat and exerting myself, I nearly froze to death and would have given most anything for access to heat. After the last box was finally deposited inside, my son turned up the thermostat and nothing happened. He then found out from the building supervisor that the heating system was not scheduled to come on until the following morning.
