It's not a "quirk", it's behaving as desgned: it's telling you at least one
of your tires' pressure is below minimum.

Air pressure drops by one PSI for every ten degrees Fahrenheit, so
pressures drop the deeper you get into winter.

Check your tires with a manual gauge and add air where it's needed. The
light will go off when the pressures are set as per the sticker on the
driver's door frame.
