I agree. I sounds a lot like a battery right now. It's the easiest and cheapest thing to fix--might as well do it anyway--cold weather is hell on batteries.
Your car may not even take a jump start. My car started PERFECT for a year and a half, then one morning, tktktktktktktktktk. Tried to jump start it, it was still dead as could be. My battery had started to go bad, but my altenator was strong enough to still get the battery enough juice to start the car. That one morning, it went into a permanent slumber.
