Thanks corey. Maybe it was just "at freezing" the last time, and that's why I remember it.

Cheers

It's actually 3 degrees Celsius. There's a slight conversion bug in early models (before '95 or so IIRC) that displays it as 38 rather than 37 F. That's about the point where ice/frost can begin forming. There's a little valley near me that the temp is often 5 degrees colder than my house.

well; no you had to go put in terms of celsius... 3 I can understand.

I have a 92 -- so; there it is....

It pings and lights the display at 38, then goes out. At 32, it pings again and lights the display but stays on.

Jim is full oif s*it. Sorry Jim.

The car will tell you that it's cold when the temp is 38, this temp can result in black ice in shady places or on a bridge. The display will come on for a few seconds then go out. If the temp continues to drop to 32, the display will come on again (with the attendant ping), but will remain on to remind you that there is ice outside.

OK!!! So I wasn't imagining it & I did remember correctly! it was just that I started out below 38..

Thanks Jeff!
