If it only happens in the freezing temperatures it could be water freezing in the handbrake cables.

not had chance to have a look this w/e but only seems to do it every now and then and only since changing discs and pads will have a look next w/e
dont think it will be cables as they were replaced last year at mot which is not far away again
