How about a heated tarp. With an insulated side so it doesn't melt your paint or whatever. Snow melts as it lands on the tarp, solving the issue of heavy tarp

the tarp isn't heavy though. if you peel back the tarp you can move like eighty inches of snow because you are doing it gradually (calculus works the same way)
