Feb 12 2021 MT cold not well captured in URMA

Here is an analysis of temperatures at 14Z Feb 12, 2021 over central Montana. I have circled areas where the temperature was -35F or colder.

In the URMA analysis at the same time, the coldest temperature was -34.1F, in the small purple area near the center of the map, in Meagher County. While there is a colder contoured area in north central Montana, it was only -32. The colder areas were pretty well represented with several stations reporting...not just a single site reporting a cold temperature.
