Trunk stuck? Cold weather related?

That likely means it was all just snow. I can see snow that melts a smidge and freezes again over night could be problematic

I have taken it to a carwash in the evening. In the morning the doors are slightly frozen shut but everything opens up with a slight tug.

Interesting... Car washes generally have heated dryers on the way out pushing water out from many areas. on top of the fact you probably drove back to your house where the radiant heat from inside the vehicle should be enough to dry some of the weather strip areas around doors and such. Also, crusing at speed should push water out of some of the channels. I am, however, just making assumptions so i could just be spitting BS.

Normally the case but at 10 degrees the heated water freezes quickly leaving a layer of ice in spots that weren't blown off.
I also only use touchless so the high pressure jets do push water in places that normally wouldn't see those forces.

i do know that warm/room temp water freezes faster than cold water as there's more space between the molecules, cooling the water faster (crude explanation, but it's close, i think)
