Just thought I'd share that I had this issue a bunch last winter before parking under a couple hundred dollar car port this winter.
It's definitely the weather seal between the window and door skin letting moisture in. Nothing else makes sense if parking under a car port/car cover fixes it since neither of those is retaining heat in any meaningful manner.

In other news my passenger side window froze again last night. Only took a few moments to successfully reset, but still...the fact they built this functionality into the switches suggests to me they did their cold weather testing and found this issue, but decided it wasn't worth the cost to fix it.
