Cold weather makes everything harder in the field. So those little sticks that where cut easy when warm don't cut as easy now. That dirt clod is now a rock. I would bet that if you look at the guards and old sickle sections you will find where things have been hard on them both.
Also I know that engineers say the temperature difference we commonly see does not make metal break easier but I do know that I have broke more things when they were cold than when they were hot.
When I have ran soybeans on frozen ground in the past I kept a box of good guards/sections plus a complete sickle on hand. In one 15 acre field, that had been cultivated late, I went through 20 guards hitting clods that would break the center web on them. I made a jig to weld them back together for later use.
