I don't drop my psi at all... and I drive in tons of snow. Of course, I run all seasons which may help a bit, but I really don't think its necessary to drop the psi. In fact, a skinnier winter tire will perform better than a wider one. So, keeping the psi up would accomplish the skinnier effect, rather than letting air out and giving the tire a wider footprint.
