Hello Gary!
A very likely problem is that with colder wx the battery is not able to
supply sufficient power to spin the starter/engine at the minimum 220 RPM
required for the magnetos to fire. No amount of raw chemical power will help
if the plugs don't fire....
Don't just try to jump the battery but replace/borrow/steal a different
battery, clean all terminals, etc. then try "lighting it off".
Hope this helps!
