Winter Storage Tips for Helena, MT: Protecting Your Belongings from Cold and Snow

Storage Tips


Winter in Helena, MT, brings extreme cold, heavy snow, and icy conditions. With February temperatures often dipping below -30°F and the region averaging 50 inches of snowfall annually, proper storage strategies are critical to protecting your belongings. Whether you’re storing household goods, furniture, or an RV that was put away months ago, here’s how to keep your stored items in top condition during the harshest months of the year. 1. Reliable Access: How Fox Den Storage Handles Snow & Ice One of the biggest concerns customers have during winter is facility access after heavy snowfall. Last year, after a major snowstorm, one customer was relieved to find Fox Den Storage's driveways already cleared, allowing them to check on their unit without any hassle. "I expected to be digging my way to my unit, but everything was already plowed. It made my day!" they shared.

Here’s how to prevent winter damage: Electronics & Appliances: Remove all batteries before storing electronics to prevent leakage. Wrap TVs, computers, and small appliances in thick moving blankets to insulate against temperature changes. If storing a fridge or freezer, prop the doors open slightly to prevent mold buildup. Furniture & Wooden Items: Use furniture covers or blankets to protect against freezing and cracking. Elevate items on wooden pallets or plastic shelving to keep them off the cold floor. Treat wooden furniture with wax or polish before storage to prevent drying and splitting. What NOT ...
