255 Degrees in Chicago tomorrow!

[TSS Taylor]

So I have this really cool SIRIUS Travel Link service on my Alpine Nav Headunit. It's so badass. I can get gas prices, weather, traffic, construction updates, movie listings all provided thru SIRIUS. So it's really funny when it's SOOOO cold that the software doesn't understand the information. Look at the 5 Day forecast for Chicago. Thursday is so cold it's hot with a High of 255 Degrees and a low of 245 Degrees. I guess I will have the AC blasting :smug:

It looks like the software problem made your screen extremely dirty too...

Yes, I always new Chicago was really "HELL"

Evil Ernie will be along shortly he is really the Devil just likes to go by Ernie. LOL

 

[mrpacs]

LOL! Get rid of that hunk of junk!

That is funny a tempature of 255 degrees god we would be dead if that occured.

From 255 Thursday to 8 on Friday. I guess we can rule out global warming as the culprit here...

We've been in the 60-70s here the last few days. It's been nice and enjoyable, I didn't even wear a coat this morning, but I feel guilty because we need RAIN really bad.

 

[drdroo]

That low of 245 is going to feel fantastic....

Hope you didn't melt up there, that is funny glitch pic!

...So it's really funny when it's SOOOO cold that the software doesn't understand the information...

I flew through O'Haire Thursday, and a United attendant said it was -10F at the time.


I suspect the problem with the software is that it doesn't recognize 0xFF (255) as -1 and 0xF5 (245) as -11.

And now I'm busted as a software geek.

Is travel link offered in anything other than Fords? I just bought a new Dodge Nitro that has the myGig/nav system. It came with a free year of Sirius and Sirius Traffic (one part of the travel link thing)....can I get all of the other stuff, too?

Lol

It must be the lake effect sunspots again. Downtown is always "warmer" at night than the boonies. Since Lake Michigan isn't all water it doesn't freeze a whole lot. One experiences an extra wind chill walking downtown (and between the buildings).

Fineware, I've marked you as a techie. :yesshake:

If Chicago is hell, a Sirius update to the SL2 logos and memory problem must be imminent. Friday looks like Chicago is freezing over.

Here is one for you

Georgia Tech is kicking some serious ass :twitch:

I think right now it's just Fords. This was an aftermarket one I bought. Here is the link to SIRIUS Travel Link Page.
