For that, a leaf blower would work easier. Or just wait for it to melt.

We got upwards of 8" of snow within the last day and a half that was much heavier than that. That sheet would have crumbled in the first foot, if you were strong enough to push it.

Useless hack.

Heavy wet snow would destroy cardboard. we can do it Feb 2019 #1
