I did find your source.

Ok, so there is a shitta in the pri chodosh that the 6 hours are shaos zmanios, and in the winter they are shorter. Thus, he says in the winter if you eat meat in the morning, you can eat cheese for lunch even though it is only approximately 4 hours. See pri chodosh 89:6

I would probably have read this to mean that you always use shaos zmanios regardless of what time of year it is or where you live, and that it would be a chumra in the summer in alaska to wait 12 hours.

However, I did find your source.

Mizmor L’dovid, authored by Rav Dovid Pardo (1718-1792, Rav of Sarajevo, Rosh Yeshiva of Chesed L’avrohom in Jerusalem, Mechutan of the Chida).

In his peirush on shulchan aruch, http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=8211&st=&pgnum=126&hilite=

He apparently reads the Pri Chodosh differently than I did, and understands that the pri chodosh is determining that since in the winter 6 shaos zmanios is 4 hours, it would not make sense to have different amounts of time in different times of the year and places, so it is always 4 hours min hadin.

He says this is the source of the 3 hour minhag, and that these people ?? ??? ??? ?? ?? ?????.

I saw these sources in an OU bulletin, (http://www.oukosher.org/pdf/Daf20-1c.pdf)which says that Rav Schwab was very happy when he saw this, even though he still encouraged people to adopt 6 hours when they got married. The piece explains how 4 becomes 3 also.
