I have a sweeper. I dump them in the woods, then mow over them until they virtually disappear which doesn't take much.
The snow will go away and it will dry off enough for one last grand leaf gather after the leaves are all down.
I have a sweeper. My dad and I used it for a couple years, but it was insufficient. It was better than raking, but in the back yard I couldn't get 1/10th of a circle before it would fill up.
