That's a new one on me. I always use the same. If anything I use a little less in the off season for a slightly softer ride.

I keep my bikes in the garage, so when I check the pressure it is at pretty much "outdoor temperature" therefore I just put the same pressure in as usual. I guess if you are keeping your bike in the warmth then perhaps you should put a bit more in. But tbh I'm not sure how much more you'd need, nor if it would really make much difference.

cold air is denser you'll need more air in the tire to maintain the same pressure as in the summer. not higher pressure.

Cold weather means that it's time to post 100 ******** threads about trainers and rollers.

I use the same (120psi) year round. I don't see it making that noticeable of a difference unless you lived somewhere with some extreme temperature changes. Even then I doubt it great enough to matter for winter training.

110 psi in normal conditions, if it drops by more than 30 degrees inflate to 200 psi.
It recently plummeted into the low 80s here in Southern California and I'm currently at 250 psi.

(Don't worry, I know it's way more than that in Europe, where they use Celsius.)

No...you shouldn't point that out..because it is incorrect. I'm not sure if you're kidding or not...one never knows....The equation you are probably thinking of that makes you think if you cut the temp in half the volume is halved is the ol' PV=nRT, but in that equation the T is not in Fahrenheit...I'll leave that hint... And for a really simply test....take your tire pressure in the house and then go outside at 35F and check the pressure. I'm fairly sure it won't be 1/2 what it was inside.
