Tom,

Replace the master.  Cold weather has shrunk the seals and it is not
putting out a full stroke's worth of fluid due to leak-by.  If the slave
is not leaking it is probably okay, but it is easier to replace it at
the same time.  If there are no horrible noises or slipping with your
clutch it is most likely not the culprit.

Have fun, isn't great how cold weather pushes marginal components over
the edge and you  risk frostbite to replace them?  This is the first
theorem of the "old car lifestyle!"
