And that's all done by mother nature...just a bit too early!
I'm surprised that you still have power lines in the front yard.

This came down as a heavy wet snow with the largest snowflakes I have ever seen, some of them were as big as a quarter and the moment they landed on something they stuck in place...

The snow started falling about 3:30pm and here is a shot I took out the kitchen window at 4:30, one hour into the storm,,,

At 8am the next morning I went out to assess the situation and shot a few pics...

I have never seen snow fillin the gaps in a chain link fence before.

WE are very fortunate in this community because we have a private municipally owned electrical utility company and those guys are wizards at keeping it up and running.

We have had two tornados, the earthquake, a terrible thunderstorm that produced 150mph wind shears that caused tornado like damage and now this snow storm, all within 5 months yet we have not had any serious problems with electric. During the snow storm we had three power glitches, the longest of which only lasted 30 seconds.

Today our power was out for about 1 hour because they had to turn it off to cut downed limbs off the wires.

By contrast, there are about 5 commnunities surrounding us that have been without power since Saturday, and one town says it may be next Saturday before they can get it on again.
