Never trust that outside temperature gauge! It's on of the most inaccurate car outside temperature gauges I've ever seen. Mine is constantly 5-8 degrees off. Glad you're ok man that's one serious spill!
Interesting thing is that at 39, at least on my '11, I get the snowflake/"icy road" warning. My brother in laws '03 Jetta does the same thing, and I asked why (because hey it aint 32 or less), Jetta manual says its because things can start frosting up around 39 or so.
So moral of the story, anything below 45, treat it like frost!
Glad to see you are OK though......that car took a beating.....dont worry, Infiniti has more for you to buy, luckily you are still around to do so.
Snow doesn't generally fall if the temp is below freezing, if it is you get ice rain or hail (not the same). Snow will generally fall at around 34 - 37 degs.
