Older lubricants, especially as they age, are more likely to stiffen up and cause the the troubles you are having. Some modern lubricants (it all depends on how they are formulated) are stable over a wide range of temperatures and would solve your problem. If you do send it out for a CLA, make sure you tell your tech that you would like it to work in colder temps too. Try leaving your jacket partly open with the camera against your body and the lens out in the cold. This will keep the camera a little warmer but still not cause condensation problems on the lens.
