Steering rack is on it's way out, they normally get much worse with cooler temperatures.
To buy some extra time a Drain/suck out and Fill of pump might improve it until you can psychic yourself enough to get and install it.

Morning Sickness is what this is called, common to C4s. Stiff until you get going.
You can drain or suck out and replace the PS fluid with new and alleviate it, but someday you will need a new rack.
