Oil pressure jumped 30psi overnight

Should I be worried? My oil pressure went from 60psi at 70mph to 90psi in the course of one night and I do not know why.

I will be getting an oil change in the next couple days to see ifthat fixes it. Car drives fine and does not overheat.

Only thing that changed was the weather..its 33 and raining ice here today but I don't see how that can affect oil pressure.

90psi is alot, its normal when you frsit start the car. The oil is thicker when its cold so if it gose back to normal as the car gets hotter then I would think its ok. I may be wrong tho..

Seems like something blocking/restricting flow is the only explaination... oil filter maybe?
