Default Trucklites and snow

How does trucklites handle snow build up? They don't give off any heat, so I'm guessing they don't melt snow. So driving in a snowstorm at night sounds like trouble to me.
Anyone have any first hand experience? And solutions?

No first hand experience but have heard lots of stories about having to pull over and clean them off because of snow and ice build up.

I do I live in Montana and drive in snow 5 or 6 months out of the year and I have had my Trucklites for going on 2 years without an issue. I hear lots of reports that they are no good in the snow but mostly those are from people who do not drive in the snow lol. Under certain conditions I have had to stop and wipe snow/ice off but I would have been doing the same with stock head lights.

My JW speakers do pretty well in the snow. At the first and last of the winter when the snow is wet it will build up on the lights and need cleaning. During the majority of the winter the snow here in Denver is dry enough to just blow off
