Exactly. Quite annoying, but nothing that a heat gun to the caliper
won't cure. ;-> (DAMHIK)

It never gets cold enough in the part of California that I live in for
brake calipers to be affected by low temperatures.
Do you think that this is caused by (1) expansion of the glycol brake
fluid, (2) expansion of freezing water in the brake fluid, or (3) the
negative coefficient of expansion of the rubber o-ring in the caliper?

It's not just low temperatures that cause calipers to stick.
