I'm sure this has been discussed before but I could not find it anywhere...
Anyone have this? Is it because the temp outside has changed??

According to those who have had an outside temp of 37 degrees of less, it's a freeze warning. Watch out for possible slick streets.

That would be your Heads Up that you have entered the freezing zone. It's a warning to go find your snow tires and tune your skis.

It starts at 37 degreess since bridges and overpasses can be a few degrees colder and freeze.

Happy Motoring!

I saw that for the first time yesterday morning. I thought it meant "Too damn cold to go to work today, Return to your bed."

A bit of a trick with the freeze warning flashing; if you have an '04 or OBC, you can push the display switch once and the temperature will stop flashing, a sort of "shut-up already, I know it's too cold!" function
