Re: outside temp reading off!

The thermometer is NOT effected by wind speed (i.e. wind-chill) just your
skin (animals too), so as to the moving theremometer, no worries. But your
temps can be effected by the car itself,(heat generating object) so your
temps could be off, but it does give you an idea as too weather or not you
will freeze off your N*TS.
