Do you have hot and cold in the cabin ? and whats the coolant level like?

yeah generallly when you over heat in cold wheather, its due to Low coolant levels, or a poor antifreeze/water mix. Being as now its all pretty much pre-mix, chances are the coolant is low.

Then negative is finding out WHY your low, if there is a leak on a hose, or worse.
