Pretty much the norm. It is with mine too. When I drive it for a few miles it also seems to get faster.

Yes, same here.

I especially notice it now that the temps have dropped to the low 40's and high 30's in the AM.

But.........as it warms up it gets much less "notchy" and eventually very smooth when fully warm.
