I gave zunzun a try and the one with the lowest root mean squared error was:
f(x) = a( x**0.5) + b( x ) + c( sin(x) ) + d( cos(x) )

It got 0.202 RMSE, so I guess I'll stick with my original function as  
it seems to be closer to what I expect will happen at colder/hotter  
temps.

You have a good point about temperatures outside my data samples.   
Once it gets hot again in the summertime, I'm sure I'll have to  
re-evaluate this.
