Stiff Handling

Hello,
I am from Dallas TX and we recently had a really bad winter storm.
Due to work I had to drive in ice roads and had to drive thru a lot of ice and etc. After driving in this condition, my car handling just got really stiff.

Does the ice has to do anything with my handling being really stiff?
All the ice that was stuck in wheel well is now melted.

Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong?
I checked the powersteer fluid level and it is fine.......

This is my current setup.
KW V1 Coilover
SPC F/R
20 / 10.5 / +25 all around
255 / 35 / 20 all around
The ride height is about 26" from ground to center fender line.

Hi there, DFW here as well.

Ambient temp does affect dampers, since temp affects oil vicosity, but I don't think it'll get to the point where it becomes "really stiff" vs V1 in warmer temp.

On the steering side, my steering on the Z was noticeably stiffer during the extreme cold start (freezing or below freezing temp). I assume the theory is same as above.
