I guess it to be 2-3 yards per 10 degrees and use 75 degrees as my starting temp. Works well enough.

I use the 2-3 yards per 10 degrees but you are correct it is a %. I also never use it for driver as I rarely care unless there are forced carries. I also don't use it for partial shots. Luckily I am not good enough for it to matter if my guess has it 160 playing 167 and the actual % makes it 160 playing 169Due respect to you I have some debate and or disagree (if I may) with both your points.
First the ball. A softer ball (in general) has a bit less speed anyway. But when its cold the softer core ball is also cold too. It too would be affected and since it produces a bit less ball speed anyway, and is also cold I am a believer it simply doesn't matter. Imo one should play the very same ball they prefer in warm weather. I believe the whole switching to softer core balls thing in cold weather is a misguided logic. Widely accepted by many folks but still misguided and not corect.
Ive also read but dont believe in the 2yrds per 10 degree analogy. I believe it has to be a percentage where as the loss is greater as the clubs get longer. It cant be the same with all clubs. A 90 yrd sw vs a 250 yrd driver would have to prove a parentage loss and not a specific yardage. From 80 degrees to 40 degrees with a driver there is (in my experiences) a whole world worth of more yardage lost than just only 8 yrds.
