Heck... if I wanted the snow to melt so I could cut my lawn I would unhook the huge irrigation pump and replace it with a huge compressor that could handle that volume but hook up the natural gas line supply to the house to the inlet/suction side of the compressor. Then dig out each sprinkler, crank up the compressor and just open the gas value a slight bit then strike a match by each sprinkler. After they are all lite start opening the gas value to get the proper amount of melting snow. No big deal...I had to do this years ago.
