Default Half buried in snow, but still working!

My wife cleaned out in front of the backyard Sanyo, (it was completely covered)
but we couldn't get to the front yard Sanyo. The snow roof helped.
But, snow still got behind both units. It's still piling up today.

It looks like the air input's are about 70% clear, and they are still working.
We do see some strange power surges when the temps get down under 10F.

We've been trying to keep too much snow from building up on the roofs.
(Snow loaded roofs are starting to cave in, around here).
Snow from the northside roof falls right on top of the backyard Sanyo.

It seems like the cure is to build extra large snow roofs over both units.
I'm thinking maybe a 4'x10' or 5'x10' roof for both units.
