self-heating is 1C per 50 uW of power dissipation. Resistance is 150K at room temperature. Still-air thermal time constant is 100 msec.

The problem with self-heating is that we are increasingly sensitive to local windspeed rather than temperature. We definitely don't want to exceed one volt across one thermistor, or 2 volts across both of them.
