    I also live somewhere with a lot of snow and cold winters and yeah, the first ones that went in had issues with snow but now they all have heaters built in. That’s why I really don’t see the point of incandescent street lights now days.

      People that write specs for government are quite conservative (not politically, necessarily, but more slow to change). That and the early issues with them is plenty to keep some cities specifying incandescent bulbs.
