A common reason for this to happen with front wheel drive vehicles, is the steering rack is going bad. Cold weather will aggravate it even more.This is more of an annoyance than a safety issue. Mark
This is most likely caused due to a problem in your spool valve on the steering rack. It can be repaired but I'm not sure if it's legal to do so in your country - you'll probably have to replace the rack. Plain and simple ---the valve body of the steering gear is shot replace the steering box or rack as the case may be

Can you drive a car without power steering working?
Yes, but it should be looked at as soon as possible. This is because it is a safety hazard. Vehicles that originally had power steering installed and then it fails does not drive like a vehicle that never had power steering. There is s direct relationship between the speed (or movement in reality) of the vehicle and the ease of turning it without power steering assist (or when your power steering is disabled). If you are at a stop for instance, turning the wheel is much more difficult then a moving vehicle and turning it and this should be taken into account when driving a vehicle without power steering.

Is it harder to drive a car without power steering?
If it's well designed... slightly, but not so much as to really matter unless you're driving a lot; you might get some fatigue in your arms then. The real problem is cars that are designed with power steering when the power steering goes out. Turning the steering wheel then can be really difficult.
