the store if it's just this particular brand or model. I bought this
thing to save electricity, not waste more.

It sounds like you probably have the sensitivity adjustment too high. Turn
it down some, but be sure it'll still work, and see if that helps. Mine
turns on like that too if I turn the sensitivity all the way up. In fact,
even hard rain will turn it on. PUtting it back to a reasonable setting
though takes care of it all.

Agree that sensitivity adjustment should be checked. I've had similar
lights for many years and don't recall them routinely going on during
snow. Of course, it may also depend on the intensity of the snow.
