sounds like an idle air issue or something in that area...maybe a intake air temp sensor failing due to the cold. Just a few thoughts not great on the electrical side of a ls1

^^^either this, or, because of the cold, there is a gasket contraction or similar. I'd check the IAC grommet for looseness, vacuum lines, etc.

While you're at it, check the intake bolts to make sure they are not loose.
