I've inspected the fixture, it seems fine. I've inspected the switch, it seems fine too. It's on the same circuit as a GFCI outdoor outlet. If the outlet is tripped, the light is off. The outlet works just fine all the time....
Ideas?

Is it a CFL bulb? Sometimes they have problems in the cold. I'd try an incandescent for a bit and see if it fixes the problem. There are probably still a few stores that have them left.
