Outside Temp Gauge
« on: 08 January 2010, 10:22 »
Noticed that when i started up the last few mornings and the outside temp gauge is showing -7,
-8 say, yet as i travel to work and the temperature rises to -5 the computer then chimes to warn you of ice  :huh:

Is it just me or don't you think thats a little backward and it should chime as soon as you turn the ignition and the temp is past +4?  :undecided:  :huh:

Yes i'm bored haha  :laugh:

just seems a bit silly really doesn't it?

To me anything past +4 should chime instantly although common sense should tell you that with snow on the ground its going to be a little tricky!

Wow I do sound picky  :laugh: :laugh:

What were the roads like on your way back down out of interest?

Tidy  :smiley:  Most of the main roads seem alright around me.  Haven't ventured towards Ebbw Vale yet though.

Biggest concern I got is at Black Rock just before Abergavenny  :undecided:

The heads of the valley road is clear. When you drop down into Abergavenny there was very little snow around. Made me laugh on the news when they were in Crickhowell, they only have a couple of inches they want to come up into the moutains.

Ah good stuff!   :smiley: Though I was heading back towards Merthyr from Asda on Dowlais top and I hit one or two ice patches  :shocked:  That woke me up for sure lol

Perhaps I should drive in reverse and let the derv melt all the snow and ice  :laugh: :laugh:
