I just recently moved houses, and my experience is therefore fresh in my mind.
Make sure your valuables are safe. Keep your wallet or purse with you (or locked up in your car) while the movers are there. Same goes for your cash, jewelry, and important documents. If there's anything you'd be distraught over if it disappeared - move it yourself.
Keep your own inventory of your belongings, so that you can be sure the movers don't help themselves to something.
Be sure that your driveways and walkways on both ends are clear of snow.
Movers won't take live plants. If you have any, you will have to move them yourself or find people to "adopt" them.
Pack a box labeled "Open First / Load Last" (or, store such a box in your car). This box should contain all the things you're going to need right away: box cutters, flashlight with batteries, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, maybe a hammer and nails and a screwdriver and screws, maybe a notepad and pen.
Good luck with the move.
