I have had mine down to -17 so far this winter. It does take a while to cross the 0 thresh hold.

If I had to guess the lowest they would read is likely -40 degrees F and C (where the temps are equal). Reason is that is the lowest temp that production vehicles are generally designed to start-up in without things like block and battery heaters

Oh it definately reads below zero.
I find it's fairly accurate for the most part too...maybe a degree or two off that's it

F'ing cold. -40C = -40F

I've seen mine down around -38C or so. 'Course that doesn't include windchill.
