Clock Sluggish in the cold
Hi All,
I have a bizarre symptom I didn't know electronics could have.
My clock falls behind when it's cold outside (below freezing).
When it's warm out, the clock will keep time perfectly all summer. But once winter hits, it starts to fall behind. Meaning, I'll set it one day, and then after a night of sitting out, it might be an hour or two behind. A few days, it'll be a whole day behind (it has the Month/Date on the clock).
It's like it gets sluggish and takes an hour and a half of real time to chug through an hour of clock time.
Anyone have any ideas on that or what causes it?
