You might be experiencing moisture from the air in your resin. This is why a lot of garage kit makers don't do this in the winter. If you have a salamander (propane heater), you can heat the garage to whatever temperature you need. You'll have to make sure that the humidity is the right level for whatever resin you're using. This is why your experiencing this would my best guess.
I don't know how else to help you other than this. You'll need to buy a moisture guage to see how much of this is mixing into your resin. If you can't stop this from being so wet, then you'll probably have to stop until it gets warmer. You don't want to leave,or store your resin outside in the cold, or your silicone - even if they aren't mixed. The cold can introduce moisture, or condensation into them and it won't come back out once it gets in. All this means that you probably won't be able to do any casting until late spring/early summer.
