Hi Jan: They are very good photographs, well composed. I like tones very much, some areas look a bit contrasty in my monitor, anyway the images general look is very good. A cold developer means it has less activity and then the result would be a neg less contrasty, at least with Rodinal, and then I don't think temperature was a problem. It's very strange to me you mentioned the Rodinal box recommends 11 minutes diluted 1:50 for Fuji Across 400, I still keep my last and empty Rodinal bottle with the box and the paper with instructions, they recommend 8 minutes 1:50 for the Across 400 gamma 0,65; according these instructions you could overdevelop the film a bit.
