Cal, it may take a full minute for an upshift if the ambient temperature is in the teens and the engine hasn't warmed up much. In bitterly cold weather I normally let the engine idle for a couple of minutes before driving off, so I have not experienced shift delays quite that long. But I don't think longer shift delays are any reason to worry, particularly when the car drives fine after the initial delayed first shift.
