Cable brakes easily stop working overnight if you leave the poor
bike out in the cold. But I've never heard of them stop working
while riding. Just pull them once in a while to prevent ice from
forming.

A couple of weeks ago my front derailleur cable twice froze up on
the way into work in the morning; once after about 10 km and once
after 4. It was fine on the way home once it had thawed out again.


Maybe you should give it a good squirt of moisture displacer.

I have :-)

And haven't used that bike since :-(
