Power Steering Flush / stiffness on cold AMs / cure

Last winter when it got really really cold here in Nashville my 90 SPG had a bit of "stiff" steering 1st thing in the morning, the first couple turns. Nothing really bad, but very noticeable when moving out of my driveway.
Late spring or so I flushed my power steering fluid and changed out the return hose (slight seep at the p/s pump connection hose clamp I couldn't cure).
I did a flush, simple stuff as researched on here... fill reservoir, start car, turn wheel left to right & back. Drain out fluid. Car off, refill. Lather rinse repeat about 3-4 times. All kinds of gnarly black gook came out, I filled 2 milk jugs and at the end it ran clear.
It was warmer when I flushed the fluid, so I've been wondering all year if this might had any net effect or not when it gets cold again. Well, 16 degrees this morning, not a hint of stiffness. Pretty psyched.
