Default 98' LX V6 Automatic Trouble

As I wrote up top in the subject, I'm having some trouble with my 98' accord. I went out to start it this morning, and the engine wouldn't turn over. It cranked a bit at first, then died. The second time i tried to start it, it cranked less then died. Now it will barely even try to start. The electricity is working fine, radio and lights come on. Everything seems to look intact, but I could be wrong, I'm nowhere near an expert.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but it was extremely cold yesterday, rained all day, probably rained at night as well, and was cold. However, it started up yesterday morning okay, and yesterday night. Also, its got 133,000 miles. Any help anybody can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot = )

Your starter requires way more amperage than your radio or your lights. You could have a weak battery, bad ground or positive connection. Those are just a couple places to start.
