so ive been shooting my D34 .22 at about 20 yards and have noticed a drop, it could be any thing, the scope, the pellets....

I'm in the northeast and shoot springers outdoors all winter long. The cold doesn't affect the rifles as much as the scopes I found. Very slight changes in fps, lower. But until the scopes cool down POI is a bit off.
IMO.

Heavy tar on the spring can affect POI in cold weather if put on to heavy handed, as could Moly paste being a little thick, but the only way to truly tell is to Chrony it warm and cold..

It was only about 30, and its a stock d34 so it has factory grease... you said the scope needs to adjust to the cold?
