The temp doesn't have to go from 41 to 42 anymore. The car can be off, have the temp change, and the snowflake will still go away. That's how my 2004 is. I guess they finally got around to fixing it. Acutally the clock and temp are always on on mine. Are they always on on the previous model years?
Also, I've heard that to get the snow flake to go away, turn the car on, take the temp sensor off (it's on the grill at the bottom I believe), put it in a glass of ice water, once the temp goes down to where the snowflake should be on, take it out of the water and let it warm up and as it goes from 41 to 42 the snowflake should go away
