I noticed today that one of our toilets had a really low water level
in the bowl. And when it's flushed, it starts with a big "bloop" of
air.

I checked the other toilets, and they are all like this.

Does it have anything to do with the cold?
We have a septic tank, and it's been below zero (like it is in so many
places).

Could be the cold. The vent terminal on the roof may
have frosted closed.
Can be a vent at the septic end too (ground level).

When your toilets sound "bloopy" it is generally a good indication of
poor ventillation. If this has just started I would suspect your vent
out of the house has probably been obstructed.

Hope this is of some assistance.

Is this a big problem? Can I just wait it out?

Not a problem, as long as you don't have to poop.
