Altimeter errors

Unfortunately on this runway the glideslope can take you slightly below some of these minimum altitudes earlier in the approach.
How much is slightly?
On hot days when it is say ISA+15 or more, then your Altimeter may show you are slightly below the published Altitudes.
However on cold days (say ISA-15 or colder), then your Altimeter will show you are higher than published.

Do you recommend flying below the glide slope on cold days following the minimum Altitudes published?
