Default Car Misfires When Starting Cold

Hey guys-- just checking to see if its normal for our cars to misfire when they're warmin up-- due to the 20degree weather and the 2step colder plugs. It also takes FOREVER to warm up-- and just makin sure that this is all normal-- or maybe I need to change the plugs out, or get a new cap and rotor? Thanks in advance guys!

how old is your spark setup, plugs, wires, cap.
