Energy Screen pegged at -5 at all times

We are enduring the coldest winter in 20 years around here, but we finally have a few days when the OAT is +6 to 9 degrees C. So I checked the Energy screen to see if it was still pegged to the far left side, and it is!
Can someone tell me why? On start up with a fresh charge, I would think the bars will all go to the center position until the Terrain or Driver style causes a change. Same for Climate? I only recently checked this because the distance traveled with the battery is suffering about 25 km, although its beginning to improve with the warmer weather.
Any ideas?

Seems odd to me. We've had a "warm" winter but still had a couple weeks in the -20 to -30 range and I didn't see anything like that. Sure the Climate bar went down to something like -2 but wasn't pegged.
Could it be it was warmer than -10 so you didn't get any ERDTT heat assist and your thermostat is set to 30+ degrees?
