PSI message for tires

Lately since it's been getting very frigid outside my info message about my tire pressure keeps going off. It states that all tires have 29psi and I'm sorta confused as to why this keeps going off. Does this happen to anyone else?

Tires loose pressure to the tune of about 1 psi for every 10 degree (F) drop in ambient temperature. The cold weather is most likely the cause of the pressure drop in your tires (the MID doesn't know why the tires are low, it's just alerting you to it). Inflate your tires to the correct pressures (if the tires aren't cold when you do this, over inflate the tires and draw them down to the correct pressure after they've been sitting at least 2 hours outside). You should be all set then (and the MID will shut up).

Listen to this dude^. He knows what he's talking about. I have the same issue where my tires pressure drop to 29psi in the front and 28 psi in the rear. Drive around on them for about 15minutes with the MID drected on the tire notification screen and see the pressure jump up back to normal; 32 front and 30 rear.

This is a good read http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/B071100.PDF

Long story short, keeps your tire PSI's up to the recommended #'s.
