This usually means it has snowed so badly that you're unable to leave the house, or use your car. You're trapped in place, "snowed under".

@hermawanm572 it means that you have a lot of work to do, and you are having trouble finishing it all.
Do you want to go to the club tonight?
I can’t, I’m snowed under.

does it refer to work only? or there's something else?

@hermawanm572 I think it can be used for any situation where you're unable to go anywhere because of the snow. We get a lot of snow in Pennsylvania, so this can happen a few times every winter.

@hermawanm572 not necessarily only with work, maybe other responsibilities. But the main idea is that you have so much to do that you feel like you can’t do anything else.
