This is just a WAG. WAG meaning a wild *** guess.
Sometimes in cold climates electronic and computer systems may cause a slight glitch booting up(like a computer). I would suggest that if it continues to do this and before the trip to the dealer. I would disconnect the negative battery cable for a several minutes and then reconnect. Sometimes the system only need to be reset in order for it to clean any glitch. Sometimes this will fix the bug and you may never see it again. This is no guarantee but only a suggestion that I have tried and it worked for me and a few others. This is not to say that there wasn't something going on that needs to be addressed. It only means that it can be a permanent or only a temporary fix.
