Tires in general don't have as much traction when they are cold and when you throw in a cold ground they take much longer to warm as well as your engine so you'll have to wait longer to heat up (but that goes without saying) and another thing to think about is since it's cold your car will make more hp so half throttle might get you going a little faster. But you're only talking a couple hp really. Just some food for thought.
