Hey Lisa,
Don't ya hate Gremlins!! Its possible yet unlikely the cold had something to do with it. I have to recommend some electrical testing, if you know anyone who knows their way around a wiring diagram and a test light its pretty simple. If not I'll have to say taking it to a trusted repair shop then. Let us know!
