Transmission Slipping on 98 EX

I have a 98 Accord EX 4 cylinder with 190,000 miles. I have had this beauty since new. The past few years I have noticed some minor Automatic Transmission slipping - only when cold and only between 1st and 2nd. After the engine warms up all is well in the tranny. This winter it seemed a bit more pronounced, but as I am from the "If it ain't broke.. " school of fix-up I have deemed it perhaps just a "senior moment" for a car that has served me very well for nearly 200K miles. Last year I changed the trans. fluid and filter as a bit of routine maintenance but that had no effect on the slippage. I was wondering if this is common, and I am also wondering if it can be fixed and if it is a sign of more problems to come. Thanks for any input.
