One way to eliminate the issue of snow build up is to use down lighting. You can mount lights in the eaves of a house to light the house or in trees, moonlighting the landscape. Even a snowfall of a couple inches will hinder up lights. Using LEDs in tree and in hard to reach places is also a good idea because you wont ever need to climb a ladder after the install to replace lamps.

Another option for up lighting in climates with snow is to mount the lights to the tree a foot or so high and aim them up. This helps get around the problem of leds not producing enough heat to melt to snow that falls on them.
This is a good point. One concern about LED landscape lighting is that the low heat it creates may be an issue in cold climates that receive a lot of snow. This is because standard incandescent fixtures create so much heat that snow will not accumulate on the fixture. LEDs do produce some heat and it is sufficient to melt light snowfalls; however, a heavy snowfall will accumulate on a poorly designed LED outdoor lighting fixture if it is not properly designed. If you plan to use LED landscape lights in a northern climate it is critical that you select a fixture that is designed to deflect snow. This can be accomplished by utilizing a fixture that has a steep pitch cover or is otherwise designed to direct and manage heat in a manner to eliminate snow accumulation.
