I've seen loose connections cause lights to flicker. But, if it wasn't doing this before all the cold temps, it's probably the power grid getting slammed.

That's a good point. Most ground fault relays don't actually measure neutral current, they calculate the neutral loading based on phase currents. An imbalance could memic a ground fault.
