If you look at the video, there is another crewmember on top of the tender kneeling down. He has a hose with hot engine water that is going into the tender to aid in snow melting. (look at the 497 tender clip).

pS Side note. Before 1991 the last runs of OY were two times in 1983.
During the 1990's it ran in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1997. 1994 required little use, and 1996 they bucked snow with two engines.
