pretty sure it's just telling you there is a chance of ice - think thats in the manual someplace...

 

yep, flashes to warn that there is a chance of the road icing.

 

When the outside temp is below 37 degrees it flashes to warn you that the road surface may be frozen

 

I have a 2011 Forester and I am noticing that my outside tempature light flashes about 4 times when the outside temperature hits 37 degrees or 23 degrees. Has anyone else seen this and know why it happens?

When the outside temp drops to 37F, the temp display flashes as a warning that the road surface may be frozen. See page 3-27 in your owner's manual.

A flashing temp display at 23F is a new one on me.

Hmmm...
