In Winter this sounds normal to me as you say once it gets warm it's fine .
before touching the injectors, do a valve adjust as even slightly tight valves hinder cold starting and cause running issues .
To do the injectors you'll need a pop tester and shims etc. ~ better to search your area until you find a Diesel Service Center that has the proper injector tools and will test them for you, many do it for free if you come in when they're not busy, others charge $5 per injector, cheap to discover one bad or know they're all fine .
When it's really cold, follow the drill but wait for the seat belt light to go out ~ that's a bit longer than the glow plug light so they heat more .
Not really necessary if it fires rapidly now .
The need to give it a little bit of throttle is normal when it's really cold and right now NY looks really cold .
