This morning when I went to take my Chally out for a ride, the low tire sensor displayed. I ran up to the local tire place to have them checked out. The service place said everything was fine. My question then is : Do ya'll that live in northern states have this problem? As soon as the tires warmed up the light went out.

Cold weather means less tire pressure, period.

As the temperature decreases the air becomes less active which equates to lower pressure.

It's normal. Just inflate your tires more in the colder months and decrease them as the temps start to rise.

Every 10 degree drop in temperature causes a tire to lose 1 lb. of pressure.

I just didn't recall that happening last year. Thanks for the info.

Yes... not a 'problem', more a 'condition' as they said

I just bought a 2011 Durango and the following morning the light came on. I knew exactly why. It was friggin cold. My right front was 2 lbs. lower than the rest when I took delivery, but the air was turned off at 6 p.m. I filled the right front at work to match the others, 32 pounds, and the number still blinked in the display. I drove across town and while talking to the salesman at a light, the pressure rose to 33 in all tires and the offending number stopped blinking. 33 is what is specified on the door, so when it gets to pressure, the warning light goes off and the offending tire stops blinking.
