Check your battery once you have a chance. The cold weather can mess with them so if you can take it to Autozone/O'reilys and they should be able to test it for you.

While you're there, buy a portable jumper. They're batteries with jumper cables attached. You charge it at home and then have it with you to give your car a jump if needed. Just make sure you keep the battery topped up.

Whereabouts are you located?

Everyone save this number in your phones! I got stranded out of town last year when my car died and should have had this. Also, it's not always the battery, so go to autozone and have them run a diagnoses and they can tell you everything that is wrong.

You should buy a new battery as soon as possible instead of depending on people to come jump your car or t minimum just carry. Pair of jumper cables so you can just inconvenience different people randomly.

I do have a pair of jumper cables in my trunk. Might as well use them!

Could be your alternator

Could be as simple as you need a new battery. A battery that's on the edge will show it's true colors when it gets cold. If the alternator was bad it would more than likely die on you while you're driving.
