we had snow yesterday, and it was 17F when I left the house. This after being 66F on Tuesday

Glad I got the Cold Weather - gotta love the heated stearing wheel

Here's a pic from the cell phone - so not the best!

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to all .....

"Cold" is a relative term...

I got goat skin gloves, Bokke! My car thermometer read 16 degrees on my outing early this morning. My outside house said 17.8 F. A few years back we had 0 F on Christmas Eve here in Dallas. Since I've lived here it's ranged from 0 to 122 F (1980). At least this is better than that. Incidentally, E60 handles flawlessly on the patchy ice.

The warning pops up at 37 degrees but doesn't stay on. It just gives you a chime and message but then you don't see it again unless you restart the car...

beewang - it's a Treo 600!

tonye60 - your right - you'd think we needed a Hot Weather package - aka - ventilated seats

Cheers,

Actually.. you'll only see it again if the car has recorded that the temperature has risen above +3'C/37'F, and then fallen again Quite intelligent system.
