I was wondering what the LOWEST & HIGHEST outside temperature that has even been seen on the Cobalt DIC (driver information center).
I forgot what I saw last winter... today I was seeing 14 degrees
I also forgot what I saw this summer... I know I've seen 98 degrees

please DO NOT RESPOND if you CAN NOT beat 14 degrees or 98 degrees

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

good to know... so your 132 was an erroneous # due to the black color?

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.

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."

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?
