I agree but doubt it’s related to being cold. Closure is induced by a magnetic field. I would think it would behave this way no matter what the temperature was.

Maybe something is loosening up, thus higher resistance, and more heat. May even be the contactor (relay); they can develop high resistance contacts. I've seen it happen with central AC unit relays. And if it lives outside, check for possible water ingress that may have damaged components, making them flakey. The older through-hole pushbutton versions could seep water under certain conditions, especially if the installation had overly crushed or moved the o-ring. Newer models use a capacitive touch button instead.
