Lightbulb 98 GS400 registers below zero

Last month I posted a picture of my GS with an air temperature reading of 2 degrees above. Today, it was a little colder. I know someone asked if the car would show below zero temperature, and .... it does! See below.

Yikes that is so cooooooolllddd. That weather is headed my way and I am not looking forward to it. I have seasonal depression I swear. This morning I woke up and it was still real dark and my car was covered with a sheet of ice. I broke my friggin scraper and everything.

*grins* this is just about as low as it gets over here in sunny tropical Indonesia.

Note: Pic is from my old Aristo with the blackwood trim. 33C is 91.4F by the way.

Letsride, which part of CT will you be staying? I live in upper Fairfield County, near Ridgefield. We got a few GS owners from different parts of CT (e.g. MrSypher, FutureGSorIS, etc.)

Wow, and I thought I was cold when my temp gauge read 58 last night. I'm glad I'll never see negative numbers on my display.

I'll be in hartford for 3 hours and then fly to Raleigh. Not long enough for a mini meet. I'll be back in the spring though.....

I understand your feelings, its almost as cold here in SD> I had an interesting experience with the cold. My car did not want to start. It turned over 2 times then stopped, after removing and re-inserting the key it started right away?? I hope there is not a short, ???
