Default Severe Cold and XM Weather Cloud Depiction

Our last two flights have taken place in severe cold -- zero Fahrenheit and
below.

On both flights we noticed that XM satellite weather on our Garmin 496 was
inaccurately depicting cloud cover in our area. In fact, it was showing a
solid overcast over a large geographic area that was actually severe clear.

Has anyone seen this? Can severely cold air spoof the satellite into
"seeing" cloud cover?
