What do you differently with suspension setup in the cold? I'll ride down to around the freezing mark, give or take a few degrees, and generally run my normal settings.

I usually just leave it the same for the most part.

Maybe a little less pressure in the tires, as thing start to get slippery and the rubber gets harder.

More pressure for me, as the loss in pressure from 70F to below freezing is significant, but if you are riding softer/easier that may be ok. Sometimes the hard frozen grip without snow or ice is great and you can get pretty crazy. May need to lighten rebound a few clicks. Oil baths may need to be changed for lighter CST.
