It's probably time to replace the starter.

first, you need a new battery with the highest cold cranking amps for your car. Did you winterize? Did you flush the radiator and get plenty of anti-freeze in there? Change the spark plugs and clean the carburetor. Make sure you've changed the oil to the lowest viscosity recommended for your car. Probably 5w 30.

battery is most likely dead/dying. buy a battery charger. my battery died when it got cold so i got the battery charger and charged it and it started right up

If it has been OK in the starting in the cold in the past, the most likely causes are battery or alternator. A battery problem could just be loose or corroded connections so clean the battery terminals and cable connectors (take off the cables and use a wire brush. You can get a round wire brush to clean the inside of the connectors at any half ways OK store auto department for next to nothing), and drive around for a while to see if the battery takes a charge. If that doesn't work, try using a battery charger. If you don't want to mess with it yourself and if you know a garage that has a good reputation (the chain store garages usually are good because they don't want bad publicity), you can have them clean the terminals and test the battery pretty cheaply. If it isn't the battery, it is probably the alternator then if that is OK the starter. If you get told it is the wiring, it will cost you in labor because you can hardly ever find a wiring problem quickly. If it isn't the battery, you need a garage or someone who has testers.















Watch out for friends and garages that want to work it out by replacing things until it works.
