It has been working pretty good. The last couple weeks it has snowed a couple inches and temp about 10-18 degrees F. The last couple days after my car has sat for a couple hrs it won't start. The last couple times I had to let it sit for a couple mins but today it sat for about 17 hrs now it will not start at all. I have a 1/2 tank of gas. It won't crank up. I turn the key and nothing happens. What should I do? Could it be the battery?

Do you have a volt meter, id so check the battery voltage, should be 11-12 volts not running, sounds like it could be the battery and possibly the alternator not charging but you need to check the battery and then get it started to check the alternator output and let us know

thanks
