It was heavy wet snow. Our driveway isn't normally so bush-filled, and also the weight of the snow was responsible for the trees coming down on the power lines. Again.

The truck driver had a near-empty bed with no weight in it. To be fair, he was driving a work vehicle, not a personal one, so he had no control over the fact that he was sent out in the snow in a rear wheel drive with crappy tyres. He just got to have the people bitching at him for not turning up at their house on time, presumably. I drove off to work and didn't stick around to find out.

The SO says he was VERY bored at home with no work to do and no computer games to play. I did get that impression LOL.
