make sure the negative on the battery is very tight, this happened to me before and it turned out to be a loose connection, check the positive too, if that doesnt work try giving the starter motor a belt as it may have seized with the bad weather, if it doesnt bump start then you have problems :?

Bolt to front panel, there was a lot of condensate type moisture (garaged during the snow - aluminium was 'blooming' nicely ! No testing - it was the first one i tried - result, was just going to get another battery.
