Chuckle of the day:

There was recently an article about towns in the midwest having problems with their LED traffic lights, in that LED traffic lights emit very little heat and thus are not removing their own snow (which incandescent bulbs did). Thus traffic lights are being covered with snow, which can be a serious problem particularly if only some of the lights at an intersection are covered up.

In the commentary about this article, there was the following gem:

"Not a problem.

My town mistakenly ordered IED lights. These remove their own snow."
