Tire pressure and cold weather

Yesterday morning when I started driving the temperature was 21deg F and all four tire pressure sensors lit up warning of low pressure. I know the temperature affects the tire pressure but this is the first car I have owned with the fancy tire pressure warning system so it was the first time I really paid any attention to it. I checked the pressure and they were down to 24psi, since I have a short drive to work I did not worry about it for the day. On the drive home, only one tire pressure read as being low.

Do any of you adjust the tire pressure in the winter to account for this? Living in SC it is not usually a problem for us and I am not overly concerned about it. I just wanted to see what people who live in cold climates such as CT do.
