talk to this siteIncorrect. Colder temperatures - for the same water vapor - increase the density of the air which increases atmospheric pressure. But usually colder temperatures will have less water vapor in the air so that's probably where the confusion comes from.
You really are a disciple of EMH.
How Does Temperature Affect Barometric Pressure? - Sciencing
The higher the temperature of the air, the faster it rises and loses density, decreasing the barometric pressure. The cooler it is, the denser the air becomes. This causes the barometric pressure to rise. Hotter temperatures generally mean lower pressure. This direct relationship doesn't hold...
