While fluid viscosity in the dampers is susceptible to temperature changes during use, I believe the difference may be more to do with the tyres and rubber compound.

Different tyre compounds behave differently at certain temperatures (think of cold race tyres), and it's often immediately noticeable if you're keyed in, on cold mornings. This isn't just the compound at the contact patch, but the construction and sidewall stiffness.

The tyres are an integral part of the suspension system and differences in tyre sidewall stiffness will translate directly to how the shocks/springs absorb bumps and dips.
