The gear oil in the trans is getting thick (from the cooler outside temps), 
causing the slight forward creep. In my part of the country, about this time of 
year, we get this condition very often. If it stays cooler, or gets even 
colder, you might have to get into a habit of using the parking brake a little 
more often. I hope this helps.
