I've always assumed that it lights up when the outside temp is at the threshold of freezing... I guess to let you know that you might come across ice on the roads.

Perfectly normal, you assume right. When ambient temperature drops below 5 deg. Celsius the snowflake will appear for the reasons explained above ;-)

Mine usually comes on at about 36 degrees F and goes off at about 24 degrees F.

As does mine. comes on at 36 f and suddenly no more flake around 20.. Guess you don't need a visual when it gets that cold. You can feel it.


HOWEVER I am from CA, Im sure you guys in the east know a lot more about cold than I do.
