Cold Weather Problems

Well, now that it has finally got cold, my truck's cold weather problems are back. The problem is that when it is cold outside, it has no power and bucks and misses badly. It does get better some as the truck warms up, but not all the way. The problem seems worse the colder it is. I had this problem this spring, but I thought it was a plugged cat. and removed it. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks.

Ensure the heat riser valve (allows engine to suck hot air off the exhaust manifold) works properly and ensure the hose from the exhaust manifold to intake is connected.
