Problem with '00 Aero brakes

The last couple of times I've started my Aero (cold start) the first time I hit the brakes it's as if the power assist is only working at 50%. This comes as a bit of a shock when you're not prepared for it; the brakes do actually work, they just need a hefty shove (like my mother's 1977 Austin Allegro - RIP - the car I used to drive when I just got my license...).
Any idea why this could be? Could it have something to do with the cold or the snow or the road salt? Or do I need a new pump or perhaps a replacement of the entire braking system?
I would like some opinions before going to the dealer (who will no doubt go for the latter of the above options...).
Thanks in advance!
