Default wheel vibration with winter wheels only after going through deep snow

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a fix for wheel vibration after going through deep snow with winter wheels on. I know it is just snow trapped behind the wheel but there has to be some sort of solution other than the car wash or pouring hot water on the wheels. If not, it is what it is and thanks for reading.

Let's see.

What causes the vibration? A wheel out of balance.

Now what might have caused that after driving through snow.... hmmmm.... snow maybe? How do you think you would fix that problem? That's a tough one!

Some OTHER solution besides a car wash or hot water? You live in the Sahara where these things are unavailable?

The other solution is removing the snow manually. Hands, sticks, snow brushes....all examples of tools to use.

Unfortunately, preventing snow from getting in there is a tough one if you have to drive thru deep snow. This usually happens if you're sliding sideways thru deep snow. Not as much when you just drive thru it normally.
