I was wondering how often you had to add air to your tires in the winter? It seems like I have had to do it a couple of times now and I am wondering if I might have a very slow leak

Could be a slow leak in the tire, a poor seating along the bead, a valve stem problem, or if you have aluminum wheels - a porousity problem.

General rule-of-thumb I've gone by is to check the pressure once per month - mainly to correct for pressure variances caused by average ambient temperature changes.

One trick is to fill a spray bottle with soapy water, then spritz the tire and look for bubbles. As slow as your leak is described, you may be chasing your tail - but might be worth a shot if the airings are too annoying. IMO, if it's only a couple of pounds every month or so - I'd just be sure to check pressures regularly.
