I grew up driving in the Lake Erie Rust and Lake Effect Snow Belt. I would venture to say that more important than pressure is having good snow tires that are fairly new. I have been having good luck with Bridgestone Blizzaks. They are a pretty good balance between traction and durability. I get them mounted on rims so I can do the changeover in the driveway when the weather changes.

I live in the Colorado mountains now and I am amazed how many people think they can get by with "all season" tires because they have 4WD.
