LED traffic lights are too efficient to melt off the Wisconsin snow: resulting in accidents.
Ooops. Somebody didn't think through the whole process when they converted some Wisconsin traffic lights to energy-saving LEDs. Sure, they save energy over the old-fashioned bulbs.

So some wiper blades? Or an automatic de-icing system?
