Possible that the ice formed on the linkages are breaking up , possible that the links have got tight, the pneumatics have tightened. This is extraordinary weather and the fault might clear once the mechanisms works for some time.
If however you notice there is any change or concern in the steering or movements of the wheels , then you MUST jack up the car to have a look at the front suspension/steering sections.
Hope the weather changes for the bettter.

Sounds like you have moisture getting into your ignition somewhere. Have your mechanic look at it again but have him water down engine compartment, little at a time.

2006 toyota corolla just came back 50k service now will not start

Sounds like your alternator is letting go, because your battery is not charging, and this would mean that you could probably just make it home before the juice runs out. Get your alternator checked out, if your car has 50k, this should be under warranty, otherwise could cost hundreds to replace/repair.
