Calgary and Edmonton are the big cities in Alberta.
very similar populations.
Edmonton is the capital.

your DIC has read 132???? wow... a new high temp winner?
does anyone know where the external thermometer is? where the reading is taken from?
BLK SS/SC 12-23-2007, 05:08 PM if you pull the drivers headlight its in the housing bracket on the bottom has 4 10mm bolts
suburbanrobot 12-23-2007, 05:10 PM if you pull the drivers headlight its in the housing bracket on the bottom has 4 10mm bolts
good to know... so your 132 was an erroneous # due to the black color?

suburbanrobot 01-16-2009, 08:49 PM any "NEW" COLD RECORDS on the DIC?
xxsportscar 01-16-2009, 08:59 PM -5 today
TheCaptain 01-16-2009, 09:12 PM The lowest in *C ours goes, is -30*C (-80*F), before it just shows "---", even though it was -38*C (-36*F) before the windchill.
I was in a newer diesel GMC Sierra though, and the DIC (mirror) read -52*C (-61.6*F). No windchill on that day. We were lucky.
Other than that, the highest i've seen is 38*C (100.4*F)

Up here in Canada I've never seen the temperature on the DIC go above zero celsius, even in the summer. The lowest I've seen it indicate is -74 celsius when I was building my igloo up in the north pole when me and Santa were chillin'. Here is a pic of my Cobalt before I went to work this morning.

do you have to dig out of that every morning in the winter? holy crap
Orange06SC 01-17-2009, 09:32 AM In the 4 1/2 months I've owned my SC highest temp I've seen was 115 and the lowest was 25 (just recently). At times, (since it's been cold as witch's tit) all that has been displayed was "ice possible."
piaras 01-17-2009, 04:03 PM On Friday Jan 16th, morning at 7 am I saw -16 C. It is the coldest todate since I have owned the car. I installed the GM block heater shortly after I had bought the car, thus the engine temp reported +2 C which means that the frt window defrost a little sooner. I found that the defroster starts to work on the windshield only after the temp read 30 C and above. Have anybody else noticed this as well?
Jaemon52 01-18-2009, 06:52 PM 102 high (near detroit michigan) Negative 25 in Illinois (near chicago)
