You may be running oil that's too heavy weight for extreme cold conditions. What are you using?

Well, no problem with the oil weight then.

Cold weather does weird things.

If it does it again on a cold start I would first change the oil & filter. Make sure you use a GOOD filter. I prefer Motorcraft FL-820S from Wal-Mart.

If it persists then the oil lift pump is bad or heading that way
