It has nothing to do with the lamps....its the ballast that doesn't like
cold. Change to a fixture with electronic ballast and T-8 lamps.

In my bedroom I have a standard 12" flourescent light. During warm and

it glows dimly but won't light until I turn the switch off and on a few
times. When I get up in the morning it lights normally. After that it
acts up all day. ??????

I do believe that there are lamps designed for cold weather.
