Hmmm ... not to be a smartass, but I would say it is the low
temperature... The operative temperature should be the same, right, and
that means when starting from "cold", it has to become warm first. Using
enrichener and stuff to make the mixture somewhat richer before the
temperature rises. Now, if the starting temperature is, say, 20 degrees
lower than in the summer, that would implicate you need more enrichener
and stuff, and you probably do not have more than one fully-out position
on the enrichener... ;-)

When I fire my bike up in the winter, it is a lot harder to start and
needs more sitting on its own until it will allow me to ride away on it.
