Wrong pads. Salmon pads have a harder durometer than other pads. Elastomers get harder with lower temperature which is the cause of john4789's problem. If he goes to a softer pad, it will remain softer at cold temperatures. Koolstop Dual compound pads have a softer front half with a salmon rear. I find them to work a bit better than just the salmon pads.
