Default Spongy Clutch Pedal?

It has gotten pretty cold lately where I live and in the morning's my clutch pedal seems spongy, kinda like sqeezing airbubbles. The clutch engages just fine, but I can't figure out why is feels like this. Ideas?

have you tried adjusting it? pulling on the pedal itself until it clicks?

yea the opposite if push... just grab the back of the pedal and give it a firm pull and you should hear a loud click and bada bing bada boom....worked for me....made my pedal feel totally different. from stiff and grabbing right before it was all the way out, to grabbing right off the floor.
