Removing part of the snow should provide an area of oxygen refuge. however IMO this will only sustain fish in this area and not the entire lake. IMO fish will not seek the higher oxygenated area because most of them will not know where this DO refuge area is when fish are in remote areas.

I would focus snow plowing in areas remote from the inlet steam where DO will be high during winter.
