According to Al Gore, this shouldn’t have been a problem because “global warming” should have precluded the chance of it ever snowing again. All the polar bears should have been dead by now and all the icebergs should have melted.

LOL.... my gawd! Do I have to tell those northerners how to do everything... :-)
Just put a little heater on it, and only have it switch on during precipitation and freezing weather...
I mean, could it be simpler? They won’t have a whole lot of days of the year where they’ll even have to have it on... :-)
The big advantage to LEDs is not so much the power but that they take less maintenance (changing bulbs). The problem with the ice could easily be solved with a thermostatically controlled heater.
anyone else want to join me in predicting that the savings from the bulbs will never materialize? Whatever they “save” in electricity will be more than offset by higher costs in replacing them, problems like those cited in the article, etc... When do we reach the tipping point? Little by little, one “high efficiency traffic light” at a time, we are getting there.
