I'm not able to really get a good visual from that, possible to draw a picture?:wink:

I don't have a snow flake by my thermometer in my car.

If your car had the snowflake option then clearly you'd understand my description.

Watching Top Gear last night, they were driving the R8 Spyder and showed the dash- had a snowflake and read +2.5C
Clarkson's a better man than I if he's out in that weather with the top down.

My BMW used to ding and flash "ice". No girly snowflake for BMW.

mine just make a "ding" noise when the temp hit 37. first few times it happened i had no idea what was going on, almost made an appointment to have it looked at thinking there was a problem.. RTFM and figured it out eventually :oops:

Yes, and now that I think of it I think the snowflake is a german car thing.
My Cougar had one. Actually it had 2. One at 37 (orange) and one at 32 (red)

Subaru just has a thermometer. It's a shame. How am I supposed to remember that it can snow when it's cold out?

Nah, it's not that bad, as long as the heat works. ;)

I was given a convertible for a car rental in AZ a number of years back. Had the top down and the temp was in the 40s in the morning. Just cranked up the heat, no problem.

I didn't want to be the first to tell you, but you had to find out sooner or later.

Now, about the Easter Bunny...

BTW - I just learned that some really really freaky images come up if you do a Goggle image search for 'wtf'. :eek:

No flake, but it was 32 on the drive in to work at 8:15 this morning.

I walked in with a smile on my face.
