The tarp can get buried and frozen and hard to move. One tarp I needed to whack for a long time with a shovel and eventually dig out. Definitely works for small amounts of snow, and works great on a car, though probably leaves scratches. Maybe spray the tarp with cooking spray first? (works for snow shovels) Though in a pinch there's nothing faster. If you have to leave exactly at 8am the next day for a big interview, check the weather and lay down the tarp the night before.
