Short of the new EBC "Rainbow and white" gummi bear and marshmallow compound, all pads will suck on first use in the cold.

Cold metal, ceramic, etc. gets condensation on it pretty universally and anything that would work at those temperatures is going to have a good chance of falling apart at even normal street operating temperatures.

Think about it, you big sticky rubber summer tires also suck when cold, do you really believe there is a magical compound for brakes that can do better?

It's winter, slow down, think ahead, and drive carefully.
