So i have a rosewill infrared that i got from amazon a few years ago. It seems to be pretty accurate.
Today i went out to put some mail in the box and though it was pretty cold out so i had better take another trip our with the thermometer.
Outside temp is currently 5 degrees according to in town weather station and 10 degrees according to thermometer that is in a window next to the house.
My infrared was reading really cold temps? Why?
Here are my readings:
