Sounds like the outside temperature sender might have packed it in. Its located in the right front, kinda buried as with most things on the HHR. I'll grab a cup of coffee and the shop manuals to see if there are any things that are quick and easy to check.

This is one of those "gonna need a scan tool" deals, from reading the manual it looks like the temp sensor is bad. You do need a scan tool to check it though, or take it to the dealer. Since the reading is stuck it looks as if the sensor has failed and is giving a reading based on a short to ground.
