Lived in Alaska many years. Put up with a lot of snow.

Best solution:   Put it in a garage, carport, or what have you.
Next best solution: Keep a full size broom in your van.

Most Alaskans don't have the luxury of garages or carports. Not all but
most. As I was in the group of don't haves.

I lived with the broom things for years. Works well. Takes only a couple
of minutes to sweep it clean. Full size broom is the ticket.

Cheap too,
