Bad window motor?
When ever its really cold out my driver side window wont go down. It tries but it seems like its stuck or something. It only does it when it gets below freezing. Any other time it rolls down fine. Could this be the sign of the window motor going bad? How hard are they to replace?

My car has window motor problems at times too and my problem turned out to be the switch itself getting stuck in the up or down position so when I would go to raise or lower the drivers side window it wouldn't work until I unstuck the switch and let it sit for like 15-30sec before trying to use it again. Every now and then I have to tap the door panel a few times to get the window to raise on hot days.
Your motor could be going out if the switch or grease issue isn't your problem.

I have two pulled from my 1998 tib parts car, if you end up needing one hit me up. They're not bad to replace, best part is you can do a better job than OEM insulating and re-greasing during the replacement install.
