Cold weather 32 and below can cause trouble for a number of reason.

1. Water turing to ICE

2. Lubricant becoming sticky or viscous

3. Diaphragm materials hardening

Soulution:

1. Water traps help with excess moisture

2. Clean all internal of lubricants
(Almost all solenoid valves don't need lubricant to opperate properly)

3. No real solution. Most seals lose sealing properties the colder it gets.

thanks for the info. I dont have a water trap. Would cleaning the valve help? Only the right front goes down in the morning. everything else is fine.
