The OP is asking a question based on his observation - does the outside temperature affect sound travel. He is not saying he didn’t know about the noise.
To answer your question about why buy a house by the turnpike…Probably for the same reasons you bought where you did. We too just bought a ‘house in the south’. Found a house we liked. We wanted a new house so that put us south of 44 to start. We like the amenities, and look forward to the future ones. Our ‘up north’ house is by the expressway so we know what to expect. Still can ask questions though about the sound such as does the colder weather amplify the volume. What have others done to help mitigate the noise? Etc.
We are well aware of the turnpike’s proximity to the house and have read the too noisy / doesn’t bother me debate.
Getting back to the OP, seems colder weather is a factor. Good to know!
