Anyways, the snow on the grass is pretty hard.

Rathji has it pretty covered.
Where is your main plumbing for the irrigation? Inside the house? Do you have a blackflow preventer (i know thats not a word.. but) inside the house?
Why is there water to the system at this time of year?
Do you normally do the start-up yourself, or hire someone to come and do it?
It could be as simple as a valve was left open when your system was blown out last fall, and somehow water got to the system and just went off for a while.
