it's too cold

Yesterday rained all day, then froze over night. I tried to get in the truck and the doors were froze shut. So I had to climb in through the back all the way up. When I started the truck, the trip computer was flashing: 17 degrees/ ICE.
My truck is a smart *** I think. My doors were froze, of course there's ice. I don't need my truck to tell me that. I could use the winning lottery numbers though. why doesn't my truck tell me that.

Mine does that - ICE, then temp alternating back and forth for a while, then just temp. I never really counted the cycles or amt of time ICE appeared.

I hear ya Brooklyn!! I live in Appleton too, and I unfortunately work outside. At 5 am this morning when I started the windchill was around -25 to -30! I could only last about 5 to 10 minutes and my face was completely frozen. Man I hate winter!

I guess I will not complain about moving to florida one of these winters. Single and negative digits are too low, you need to idle your vehicles more to encourage global warming.
