Yes, please educate us.

Winds change with altitude and location, so what is a 30-knot crosswind 4 miles from the runway at 2,000 feet may end up being a 5-knot headwind over the runway. I would like to know if I should gradually reduce my wind correction.

So you're saying then, that unless ATC gives you winds on final, you wouldn't otherwise know that you had to gradually reduce your crosswind corrections? (Hint: If your "current" wind correction is causing your aircraft ground track to depart an extended final approach to the runway, you might need to "gradually reduce your wind correction".)
