Mine died last week too... strange.

In cold weather chemical processes generally proceed at a slower rate. A
marginal battery in warm weather might not crank out enough juice to turn an
engine over in cold weather.

My battery had crusty deposits on the battery posts. The cold snap last week
was probably enough to contract the battery posts away from the wires.
