Sticky Clutch In the Cold

It's just starting to get cold around here... Ice on the truck in the morning, and this morning my clutch felt very sticky and never got better. I would put the clutch in normally and it released much slower than normal. I was able to shift fine, clutch engaged fine. Is it just a cold fluid thing or is that not likely?

I'm trying to think if that would be more of a linkage/spring thing or a hydraulic thing...I'd check that your linkages in the cab are lubed up & the spring is good first. I've had my clutch pedal return just fine in -20 degree temps, but of course these problems don't happen to every truck when put in the same situation...otherwise this stuff would be way too easy to diagnose.
