My "city" MPG's went down by about 1.5 when the cold weather came. It went down from 17 mpg in 60* weather to 15.5 mpg in the low 20's. What were some of the changes you noticed in your areas?

Same here. About to install the winter cover and try some additives to compensate.

Not so sure about how much the cold weather bra helps, except to the fact that my motor does reach temperature when cruising(quickly drops again at idle speeds though). I do know that additives help my winter mileage quite a bit. Probably the cetane boost since diesel gets cut so heavy here.
