Excuse my extreme California ignorance, but why do you care about the cleanliness of the garage floor? Or how about a floor squeegee to push the snow out?

Salt or salty water and freezing temps cause the concrete surface to pit. I also store a car in the garage and don't want the salty water collecting under the car in storage (my garage floor wasn't properly sloped so water puddles in my garage). When you come into your garage at night, the snow and slush under the car and in the wheel wells drops off (usually the garage is a touch warmer than outside temp). When you pull out, you can use a squeegee, but it still leaves a salty residue. After awhile the salt actually starts to crystalize on the floor. If you use water and a squeegee to clean and squeegee the water out into your driveway you end up with a huge slab of ice. Using the snow to clean the mess allows you to sweep it up and toss it off to the side of the drive.

I would guess that is not a problem in Cali.

Thank you and no this is not a problem here at sea level. +1 for your polite response.

I'll snap a pic, but I must admit to a bit of a cheat. I have a lift to stack 2 cars in one bay. I also got a bunch of heavy duty cantilever shelving from Circuit City when they slammed their doors so I've put stuff up high and made some floor space. So I have 4 cars on the floor with one over. I also have a 3 place personal watercraft on a trailer, a lawn tractor (with sweeper and garden cart), a lawn mower, a snow blower, 7 bicycles, 2 go-karts, and 3 sets of wheels out there. The thing that really made it too crowded was this big chipper my father gave me. It's got to go.
