Its cold, air up all the tires to 38PSI (at a time when the vehicle has not been driven for a couple hours).

Mine did display "SVR tpms, tire symbol "

I've had this message show up when ever the temps get down to 10 or below degrees. Thinking just ten year old sensors, light goes out once tires warm up.

What does 10 year old sensors have to do with temperature?
It's a fact that temperature affects pressure.
For every 10degrees drop in temperature, pressure drops 1psi.
I learned many years ago to raise my tire pressure to 38psi, and I never had a tpms light on during the winter since.
I check my tires when it is warm outside, so I do not recommend setting the pressure to 38psi when it is below freezing.
example: @70degrees 38psi
that same 38psi will be at 31psi @0 degrees
if you set to 38psi at 0 degrees then your tires pressure will go to 45psi at 70degrees.
