i personally have never found the difference to be noticeable enough to warrant my re-adjusting anything -- but from Back2Kill's description sounds substantial.
it hasn't been clearly stated yet, so i will:
in general with cold:
a) air shocks become softer (i.e. air takes up less volume at lower temprature so like lower pressure)
b) oil forks become harder as the oil gets thicker with lower temperature
i would an air system you could simply adjust once for the winter season and then again for summer when it gets warm again. for coil/air forks you could change the oil (as most people in cold areas change the oil in a car for the winter) but this seems like a lot a effort...
