I would start by looking at your ground cables and battery terminals..


See if the belt on the alternator has stretched to become loose . do you hear any squealing at all.

Could also be the wire coming off the B terminal of the alternator or the plug itself is corroded .

The alternator or the battery could be dieing the heat is harder on the electrical system then the cold.

some place something is not allowing the charging system to work worn out parts bad connection loose belt

If you don`t have a multimeter now is the time to invest in one and do a step by step trouble shooting of the problem.

Good luck
