Thats backwards from how it usually is, aint it? Usually when it gets 
cold it doesnt want to start. Wierd.
Well, what you can do to find out if you have a leaky injectors is turn 
the key on a few times and wait for the fuel pump to shut off, turn it 
off, then back on again. Do this about 3-4 times then see if it will 
start on the first try.  
Another posability could also be the pressure valve in the fuel 
distributor isnt holding pressure in the fuel line after shut down. 
Thats would show the same results if it were going bad. 
So the cold must be doing something to help seal the system for you. 
Interesting since I never see temps below, lets say maybe 44 degrees on 
the coldest winter morning, BRrrr!!!! (I dont need no stinking 4 
seasons!! hahahaha!!)
