How do you know that to be a fact? My T-12 Tennadyne log made it through  the 
last two winters of wind, snow and ice with no problems. Now I have a  
T-10-HD with a 59' element. Looks droopy, but the dramatic element taper  schedule 
appears to be 100 mph survivable.
 
If it ain't broke, you might want to refrain from adding additional weight  
to the antenna. Get a copy of YagiStress and run the numbers before you  panic.
