What year is your car? I'd check your battery terminal connections, if you haven't already done so.

Not sure if you have the right tools to do this, but to test if the starter is bad you should first determine if the cranking voltage is below 10.21V. Then determine if the engine is cranking normally and if starter is turning smoothly.

you should be able to take it to any kragen / autozone and have it tested for free

Chances are its the battery, there has been a whole slew of battery issues due to the cold weather. When the weather is colder, the battery is slower to charge and your amp output is lower too. I would first just test it with a simple volt meter to see where your at voltage wise or like everyone said, have it tested at an auto parts store for free.
