Thanks all for the advice.
I considered trying to pry the caliper loose this morning, but it released of its own accord after a while. Then I hesitated to go mtnbiking this afternoon because of the problem, and the brake stuck a little, but after warming it up and moving back and forth a few times it released and was fine for a 50-mile round trip (~20 F all day).
Problem is, I didn't read these replies before leaving, and now the parking brake is set and it's going to be 5 F tonight! Maybe I should go out and release it.
Long-term, I'll replace the caliper.
Thanks again.
