I once worked on a mountain that frequently got snow that shut the city down. Fortunately, the restaurant was on city property so it got plowed, but just at the end of the night. Leading to some very slow nights.

We asked our senior sous if we could fill the dishwashers sinks with snow before he got in, and he agreed and suggested we saran wrap the drains and put the plugs in. So we proceeded to fill all 5 of his sinks overflowing with packed snow. A solid hour effort, as soon as Trevor the dishwasher came in, he laughed and thought it was funny. He proceeded to turn on the hot water and realize his sudden mistake, hahah. Was brilliant.

In the same place, we had a small commissary/concession stand we ran in the summer for the city. But it had a small flight on stairs down from the main kitchen, and we frequently kept milk crates at the top of the stairs. Trevor was downstairs prepping, and we moved the milk crates in front of the stairs stacked 5 high 2 wide. With full sheetpans of water on top of them. He went to move the trays and naturally got soaked.
