The problem is pretty well known, with (I believe) several companies selling heaters that activate in cold weather.
I was even able to find articles that mentioned the issue dating back to Q4 2000.
As such, I'm not sure why this is all over the internet today. Somebody ignored a well-known issue and bought the wrong product. It worked as expected.
- anigbrowl 17y agoWhy bother with heaters? A plastic cap in front of the tubular 'hood' should work just as well and is a one-off cost. In the photo you can see the problem is the snow piling up inside the tubular shade. Cap the tube and gravity will do the rest.

- anigbrowl 17y agoOK, heaters it is I guess. I grew up in a wet climate and when we got snow it was too heavy to stick to anything but the ground. D'oh, for assuming snow was snow.
