Default How cold is it where you are?

Well, since we've done the opposite extreme as to how hot it is with folks posting their dash temperature readings, I thought that I'd do one for the coldest. I was going to post a 12°F reading I had a week or two ago but figured that the folks up north will be able to far surpass that, especially considering some of the temperatures that I've seen on the news lately.

So post a picture of your dash temperature read out of how cold it is where you are and let's see how far down we can go.

I can't beat that, but 19 Degrees is pretty cold by Conroe, Texas Standards.

I'm kind of curious as to weather the display will show negative numbers. Wow, -3° that beats our 10° we woke up with this morning but I didn't drive in it.

i don't know if the sc430 does or not. We never took her out in the cold. All my others cars do show negative temperatures. I would guess that it would then.

So far it's been a very cold winter. Had warm weeks and SUPER cold weeks. Weeks with steady 0-15 degree temperature during the day and below freezing at night. Windchill up to -35 degrees.

Harold, I'm thinking not enough people drive there sc in the cold. Doesn't make the thread go like was intended. Kinda takes on a life of its own. The only thing I miss about Houston is the winter weather. Every month had some convertible weather.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping some of the die-hard daily drivers out there would have something for us.

Yeah, I guess most northern owners value their SC430s enough to garage it during the winter and drive a winter beater replacement. (I should have taken the picture. )

Yeah, this has been an unusual winter. Last week we had 10° weather. This week we have convertible weather. It is supposed to get up in the high 70s this week.

Right now it is 46 here in Panama City Beach Florida! It was up to the lower 50s today and my wife wouldn't let me put the top down!
