Does any body know if the cold has any bearing on how the pellets fly when it's cold, over when it warmer. This weekend I went out to shoot some 100 yard's targets. I felt like I couldn't put a group on the side of a barn. But it was 26 deg's with no wind. Maybe It was the shivering

LOL! I am sure the shivering did not help!
Cold weather will indeed affect air pressure just as it affects CO2, just not as extremely. I will even venture to say that the lead of the pellets will be harder with cold weather, however, is it enough to affect accuracy I have no clue.
Extreme cold will also impair your mental abilities. This could have a major bearing on your results.

What good is 500+ FPE if you can't hit what you are shooting at?
