starting problems

This has been frustrating me so much i've made an account here to ask for help. I have a 2004 Element EX with only around 151k miles on it. I live where winters get pretty cold, so I feel the cold temperatures might be contributing to my battery drain. For the past 2 weeks or so my Element has...
