Lots of us ride in sub freezing all the time. No big deal and I can't recall having a similar problem. Maybe shoot some WD-40 down the housing, then it will finally get used for it's alleged intended purpose: Water Displacement.
Then maybe a little heavy oil on the cable instead of grease.
Do the levers move freely in the cold ?
