At the latest snowfall the parking sensor went mad on one corner, despite there was nothing to be alerted about. I went out, and all sensors where clean, exept the one that went mad. The other ones looked like the the snow had melted …

Does anyone know if the one sensor has gone cold? Or was it just a coincidence?
 
Don't think they are heated , i belive there have been reports of frosted sensors making noise.
 
My Volvo sensors never used to work reliably in snow. As HC suggested - I think you can end up with a thin film of ice over the sensors which sends them a bit crazy.

I'm pretty sure they are not heated.
 
They won't be heated, but will vibrate at high frequency so maybe a reason they didn't have snow on. The one that wasn't working could be due to the snow on it tricking it into thinking it was close to something.
