I notice a difference shifting with gloves versus bare hand in the winter. There is definitely a feel and directness you can use to ensure it goes into gear more smoothly on those first few shifts.
I guess over the 3 years of driving i got a feel for how to shift the car cold.

Just this morning with gloves on I was having 1-2 shift problems. Took the glove off and was able to navigate the next shift fine. Any hesitation or sloppyness in the shift and it doesn't want to slide easily into gear.
To be fair I was using fingerless gloves and it makes holding the shift knob more awkward.
