Sounds like it is time to lubricate your window slides and the tracks. In the warm weather there'* enough play for them to work, but in the cold the tightness keeps them from moving. Worth a try...and while you are in the drivers door, check the contacts from the wiring harness to switches. I've found cleaning the contacts on anything in my car makes it work much better

I was gonna say something similar, except my theory is that the old "gunky" grease or whatever is dirty enough that the cold makes it too thick for the motor to move the window easily enough and the system thinks it'* at one end or the other

I would definitely look into removing the door panels, cleaning and re-lubeing (sp?) the windows' works. Better chance of that being the issue than the switches....
