Though changing the throwout bearing and getting the assembly re-greased really helps. On my old clutch assembly mine was dragging at low temps and making me grind 2nd and 3rd. After change, much better.

I've lived here all my life, this is the first car that has EVER had this issue. I wouldn't bring it up if it was something so simple as can be blamed on "Iowa's cold weather". It's just a bit of common sense, which I understand a lot of people seem to lack these days. I expect a bit of sluggishness/resistance as usual when things are super cold.
However, I don't expect to nearly be locked out of a gear, grind gears, super notchy/clunky, etc. Those aren't normal issues, regardless of temp.
I've suspected the TO bearing could be having some affect on it, but I haven't been able to prove it. I'd prefer not to tear it apart and replace it, just to have it do the same thing.
