Answer
Hi Mike,
Check to see if the starter relay is clicking, and if it is check to see if the solenoid switch at the starter motor (the one that makes a loud click) is clicking. If both make a noise then the battery is either too weak (due to the very cold weather which decreases the efficiency) or it is too low in its charge. If nothing or only one clicks, then tell me the year/make/model/engine/body style and we'll go from there.
