Sudden cold snap in NH. -40 degrees! (temperature display)
My dash shows an outside temp of -40 degrees. What's failed?

The temp sensor is in the bottom of the driver side mirror. That is a place to start looking. Is there ice collecting in that spot?

Ern-
You have a short in your temp sensor located in the driver mirror. I had the same issue. If upon your investigation you find it is connected, you may want to check the harness that goes through the door as I have heard people developing a short where it passes from the door to the cabin. HTH!
