Downstream power will
rise as temperature falls as the falls because the copper resistivity decreases with temperature. It won't be anywhere near the reported change though. Upstream could fall with temperature as that's a measure of how much juice your modem needs to produce to hit the target noise margin which does decrease as the temperature and resistivity fall.
If it was a gradual decline it might indicate something slowly degrading but it it was one or more step changes it's probably just network changes. When I got a Superhub to replace my VMNG300 I found that the downstream levels were reported as being much lower so I left out the FP attenuator which I had with the VMNG300.

Could it be underground? I think all cabs have to be within a couple of hundred meters - no doubt one of the VM installers can comment on that.
As an aside mines about 100m away and a car has just hit the wall inches from it so I had a lucky break there even if the car driver didn't.
