Actually there will be less long-term self-discharge under cold conditions than hot BUT this advantage may be counteracted if you then try to use the battery when it is very cold because a cold battery delivers less current than a warm one.
Always impossible to know how well-charged the battery was when you disconnected it. A short run the previous few days, extended idling with the headlights on etc and the battery could be well below normal charge anyway.
