Poop-maggedon (sorry, not for the easily grossed out)

The day has arrived.  Not armageddon, but dog-poop-mageddon.  
4 ft.  of snow on the ground and single digit temperatures/temps in the teens for several weeks made
efficient clean up impossible.  Now the thaw, and I'm have to deal with the poop leftovers released by
melting snow and ice.  Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeve for removing wet, soggy pet waste?
I'm not the squeamish type, but holy cow, there's gotta be a better way.  

ah i don't miss this part of living in snow country....
what kind of surface is it? hoping for something hard (concrete) that you can shovel and then hose? (ideally, sprinkle some sawdust over and then shovel....) gravel? (ugh)

I wish I had a better way, but impervious gloves and a shovel have been my go-to. It's gross, it's messy, but it generally is a one and done event.

Ideally, there would be a warm stint so the ground/manure can dry up a little bit.

I would use a garden spade or shovel.  Place content in approved bag.

I get 250 l plastic barrels, with snap ring lids, and drill holes in the bottom.
I put them in a shady place where nutrient leachate will be helpful or at least not disruptive.
I put a mess of chopped brush in the bottom.
Then I slowly make a digusting layer cake of poop, woodash and worms, with daily shoveling.

Ice builds up in winter, wading through snowbanks builds character ;)
Once full I use window screen and the snap ring to cover.
Wait 0.5-1 y and I have a mass of odourless worm casings for shrubs etc,
along with seething masses of worms.
The barrels can be rolled to destination.
Passing through worms greatly lowers pathogens.
This all requires some room to work.

I don't know if "digusting" is a typo or intentional, but I love it -- a portmanteau of digesting and disgusting!
