Typical old fashioned traffic lights use incandescent bulbs and also generate some heat. Therefore, in colder climates the lights themselves helped keep the lights free of ice and snow. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) have now replaced the bulbs in many traffic lights because although they cost more, LED's last longer and use less power. However, they can be a problem in colder climates as noted.
