pwhodges:
If you add a means to enable and disable the heating coil in different seasons or weather, you have extra costs right there.
The Seldom Killer:
True, although a basic single point temperature sensor is hardly a major expense. A simple filamented cowl would cover all three lights eliminating the need for multiple systems.

Hmmm,
Done some further digging on this one. Turns out it's a bit of a red herring. Turns out it's not a common issue, even in lakeside cities prone to blizzards such as Toronto.
While they do sometimes become obscured, this basically occurs less frequently than incandescent bulbs fail. Therefore there is no decline in safety. If anything it's technically safer because it happens when people are going to be driving more cautiously. Blizzard snowfallis usually a relatively short lived occurence and current remedies include use of Rain-X, anti-freeze squirt guns and men with pokey sticks.

So, I usually don't flush the toilet if all I had to do is pee (unless I'm at someone else's house), because it saves water. Many toilets use 5 gallons (in the U.S. many other countries have lower water pressure toilets, which is why in many countries you have to throw out your toilet paper instead of flushing it), but despite that, apparently I'm still gross. Thoughts?
