This also seems unnatural, but I don't know how to explain why. Here is another way of saying it that sounds better to me:
"On the morning after, the phone started to ring, breaking the silence"
Hmm... perhaps it can also be said like this:

"In this morning, the phone began to ring, breaking the silence"

"The phone started to ring in the morning, breaking the silence"

Also:

"The season has changed and I feel it's biting cold"

Perhaps "bitter" could be an alternate word, although "biting" fits as well
