Default Air suspension problem?

This morning I observed an odd situation with the height of the car. The driver's front and passenger side rear wheel clearance from the fender were at about 4-5 inches but the opposite corners, front passenger & rear driver's side, the wheels were up inside the wheel wells. Never have seen this before should I be concerned?

I've also noticed the front and rear rattles
And knocks a lot for about the first 20-30 minutes of driving and is very stiff, then it goes away like nothing happened. Ideas?

Now that the weather has warmed up, the problem appears to have gone away. Have an appt at the dealer on Monday. Is there something I can do to the suspension to help them find the problem? Seems like everytime I go there it works fine for them and they say there's nothing for the to fix.

I should add I have driven in snow/even colder weather many times with no issues. The compressor did fail at around 38K miles though and was replaced.

Dealer says they cannot diagnose the problem unless the temps drop low enough for the suspension to fail and since this is Florida and not going to happen does that mean I need to drive to a dealer 1,000+ miles away or is there something I can do the dealer can't?
