Second curtain may be too fast and closes the slit, ergo no exposure. Point
the camera w/o lens, back open, at an operating TV, fire the shutter at a
high manual speed. You should see a diagonal band of light. The defect is
not necessarily happening only in cold weather. You need a lopcal repair
shop with a shutter tester a,d a technician who can do this basic type of
adjustment for you (IF that's the only problem with it.)
