Sounds like the cold is messing with the speedo, although I wouldn't see why -- this is an electronically controlled speedometer. Best option is to replace the cluster as when these units fail, it is usually a gradually worsening problem and eventually the speedo won't work. The same could be the case with your oil pressure gauge. You might try replacing the pressure sending unit in the engine block and see if that corrects the issue.
