Cold weather radio and reverse lights malfunction

This exact symptom happened to me this morning. Parked outside. 23 degrees. Started fine. The radio turned on, the RDS showed the station info, but no volume. I switched stations, still no sound. I hit the AUDIO, and switched to my iPOD, which worked fine. Lots of sound. Went back to the RADIO, no sound. After the car warmed up a bit, the sounds for the radio came on and it worked all day.

During this sequence (while the car was still warming up, I shifted (manual) into reverse, and instantly BOTH reverse lights blew, and the computer indicated a lighting misfunction. I haven't pulled the light bulbs yet to test; I will also check the fuses. I will report back.
