Default Car/Truck Experts: 2003 Ford Ranger is having clutch/gear problems?

This happened tonight. We just had a snow storm, and the problem may have been caused because of cold temperature. I left my truck in reverse last night. When I tried to drive it tonight, the clutch was loose until about 7/8ths of the way to the floor, then I could feel pressure kick in. When I tried to leave from my destination later on in the night, the truck had a few problems too. 1. I could start it in neutral, but could not shift it into any gear. 2. So I tried to start it while it was in gear. With my foot on the brake(clutch in), it would not start; it would only shake the truck. However with my foot off of the brake (giving it no gas, clutch in) it would go forward or backward depending on whether i was in first or neutral.

I tried to be as descriptive as possible, any help would be great. When I wake tomorrow I will be taking your answers into consideration while fixing the truck. But for now, the truck is in the garage in hopes of it thawing out the problem.

If that vehicle has a hydraulic clutch, check the fluid, otherwise you may need a new clutch.
