This is funny - it is only my discs that squeal like banshees in the cold. Or if they get wet. It's a pretty common thing with disc brakes.
Don't have that problem with my rim brakes, though to be fair I don't ride my rim brakes when there's snow on the ground (have ridden them below freezing a few times before the snow though).
