My Smoke Detector is Alive!

So... the smoke detector in our guest bedroom is very persnickety. One day we left the window open in the room and closed the door and left it, a couple hours later the smoke detector started beeping like the battery was dying. So when we went into the room to close the window we said we'd change them eventually and went on our way... a little while later, the smoke detector stopped beeping... a few days later we left the window open over night; about 5:00 in the morning the smoke detector starts beeping again... we close the window, it stops beeping an hour later... At this point we decided that maybe the smoke detector doesn't like the cold, so we stopped leaving the window open. We thought we solved the problem, but we were wrong. We like to turn the heat down pretty far during the night when we can just use a bunch of blankets, so we can save money and what not. However, when the recent freezing cold spell hit, the smoke detector started going off again at 6:00!!!! Now that it's started snowing outside we have to leave the heater set fairly high or it starts beeping at us in the middle of the night!!!! Anyone else have smoke detectors that have opinions on the weather??
