Mine will idle higher in really cold temps while the engine is below operating temperature.

Edit: It's not a Focus, but I figured any clues might help.
All cars idle higher in colder temperature. The oil hasn't warmed up so it is thicker, there is more strain on the engine and a bunch of technical stuff that is way over my head. The point is, yes at first start and cold engine temps the car will idle higher. Always
