Default Not starting in cold weather

My car didn't start in cold weather (30 degrees or so) last winter when it was left outside overnight. When kept in the garage, it started OK (sometimes took a couple of tries). I was afraid to park it anywhere for extended periods (grocery shopping, etc. not knowing what the threshold/timing for not starting was). It started 100% of the time all summer.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Should I have it looked at before it gets cold or is it pointless to do so until it's cold? Thanks!

it is next to impossible to diagnose an issue when it is not acting up at the moment...........
when car starts to have the issue,( colder weather, no start ) you need to diagnose for proper fuel and spark,, any codes in ecu ???

Stop by an autozone and they will read the codes for you. Write them down and post them on here. An example would be P1234.
