Is it normal for falling snow to make a motion sensor turn the light
on, or do I just have a crappy sensor? It stayed on almost all night
from the falling snow until I finally shut it off completely. I just
bought and installed this unit a few weeks ago, so it's going back to
the store if it's just this particular brand or model. I bought this
thing to save electricity, not waste more.

Let's look at the facts here. You have a MOTION detector. The snow was
moving. The conclusion is . . . . . .

Next summer, we'll discuss high winds and tree branches with lots of leaves
on them.
