Listening to the radio over this cold spell and especially the last
few days when temps have been the story have you noticed the increase
in temp reporting from viewers/listeners?
This is the result (and increase) of car thermometer (and the text).
What is interesting is the acceptance of accuracy too.
A little fog for us last night kept the lid on a very cold reading.
Min was -13.2 C air.

I am always a bit sceptical of the reading on my car thermometer -
never checked it against a known good temp sensor but seems to read a
couple of degrees C below reports in the area. It dipped to -14 on
Monday morning (about 0630) when the local paper said there was a
record low of -10.7, but then I was up in the hills so could have been
colder spots I guess.

Mine reads 0.5C too low. But it is consistent and very good and very useful.
