Thanks for the inputs. The problem only occurs in the early morning when the temps are colder. Don't think a hose reel would help because the cable is too stiff to be rolled up. Thought of using a blow dryer or heat gun (on low) to warm up the cable but then I'd have to start my generator in order to get electric power and run an extension cord to the opposite side to plug the dryer/gun into. I'll look into getting some kind of insulating sleeve that would wrap around the cable and hopefully keep it warmer and more pliable.
