I really want to wait for it to warm up a bit outside as doing this job in the driveway in 36F weather is not my idea of fun
You've likley got a few thousand miles on a noisy bearing before it gets bad enought to fail but YMMV.

And they can fail independantly from each other - it's not just age/miles that wear them out. Water ingress and/or pot-hole damage can take one bearing out while the others are fine.
