Default Severe Cold and XM Weather Cloud Depiction

Sure. It thinks the cold air is cold cloud tops.


Interesting. I presumed that the satellite pics on the Garmin were taken
using visible light, not infrared.

This certainly makes the product less useful for weather avoidance.
Luckily, it's rarely that cold when we fly.
