OK, so much for the OSHA prohibition of using NM cable as an extension-cord substitute. And forget not using live vegetation to support wiring.
They used to say that rainwater was less conductive than tap water for its 'purity.' Would that extend to muddy snow?
Maybe mass-ganged cord caps with snow derating are really safer than a stack of those 'extry outlet' air fresheners.
UL has a fairly good presence in a lot of countries that make 'export' electrical goods. I wonder if they ever anticipated this mode of operation?
