Check the tire pressure. 29 psi in front and 36 in the rear, if its off it will effect the way it handles bumps on the road... Too little air and it'll feel alittle slugish, too much air and the front & rear end will bounce around on every crack, bump or bubble gum wrapper on the road and your steering wheel while wiggle like your tire balance is off while at freeway speeds.

It sounds like the summer tires in 40° below weather are hardening up and not gripping the road well. It can be countered a bit by releasing the clutch more slowly so the tires catch instead of just spinning.
