I’d expect the shortest day of the year to also be the coldest, with the coldest season of the year spreading out equally on both sides of it.

That’s what I thought. the atmosphere is a big slow-reacting sponge. The coldest day of the year is usually in early February. By that time the slow lengthening of daylight since the solstice starts to warm things back up.
