Yep, cold weather is normally accompanied by low humidty. So there is not as much moisture in the air. Fatten her up!

Run richer and you can add aluminum foil around few fins to make sure it goes up in temp.

You can also read this http://www.myrcbox.com/?p=3899 this explains engine tuning according to weather.
