The cold affecting cycle computer

Lately I've been having some weird problems with my cycle computer when I first start out in the morning. I commute to work and for the first 20 mins the computer has some weird readings. Sometimes, it'll just stick at a one speed for several minutes. This then throws off my distance traveled.

It's a Specialized Pro computer. It's wireless.

I've only noticed this happening on cold mornings (i.e, the temp is under 45 F). I've started keeping my computer in the refrigerator and then slipping it back into the holder just before I leave my condo. But if it's even colder (35 F and under) it still takes sometime to "wake up".

Has anyone else noticed this on their computers in the cold? It's pretty annoying. I've double checked everything... such as the leads and the magnet and such. It never happens in the evening coming home or if I riding during the day. It's only been in the morning when it's cold.

Thanks for any help. I keep my bike inside because I live on the 3rd floor. I guess I could start keeping the computer in the freezer, but just seems crazy.
