Snowed under 

To be very busy.

“Sorry, I can’t help you these days. I’m absolutely snowed under writing this book.”

Origin
Perhaps this phrase is associated with the fact there is a lot of work to do if you wish to remove snow off the streets. And it has to be the first thing you do if you need to leave your house.
