[Miata] Brake problem

[Larry Alster]

Could be a little bit of anything.

If it's been that cold you could have had a little moisture in the brake 
lines freeze.  It could have just been very cold rotors and pads not 
gripping.

If it's this cold in the morning try driving slowly with your foot on the 
brake pedal lightly for a block or so to try to warm up the brakes and see 
if that makes any difference.
