GH13 Is this normal behavior for my camera and lens

I've gotten a Gh1 and a the 20mm 1.7 pancake lens and I've had some weird issues recently where the camera won't focus. Everything will be working just fine and then when I press the shutter down in AFS mode nothing happen and the shutter speed and aperture numbers on the LCD flash red, if I try manual focus nothing happens when I spin the focus ring. This will persist for a while even after I turn the camera on and off and I've tried removing the lens, but it just seems to disappear and start working normally after I fool with it for a 5+ minutes. I've been taking pictures in the snow recently, it's been cold but not freezing or anything, just around 15 degrees Fahrenheit, would this have any effect? I've also forgotten at times that I was in auto-focus mode and started to spin the focus ring before realizing, I heard one this is bad for lenses could this have anything to do with it?

And any idea if this would be from the camera or the lens?

Thanks for any help and insight.
