Putting down a tarp to catch the snow and then pulling it away would only work with a very small amount of snow. Snow is HEAVY. If it was that small it would be almost just as easy to use a wide snow-pusher-style shovel to move it.
The other problem is that you have to place the tarp before the snow falls, which requires a lot of forethought with work and sleep making it unable to be done for large portions of the day.

- duxup 4y agoThat and dragging this tarp of heavy snow… onto a yard / dumping area full of snow sounds impossible.
- sjs382 4y agoSome anchors and a winch and this could be pretty effective. And you could probably automate it, too.
- dvsfish 4y agoat that point it seems simpler to install heating
- nomel 4y agoA winch would be many orders of magnitude more efficient than a heater. Now maybe a heated tarp to help unstick it, if it happens to freeze in place.

- vjk800 4y agoYou just have to empty the tarp often enough. I guess it depends on where you live, but here in Finland it certainly snows often enough in the winter that you don't have to think about it, you just keep it in place all winter.
