It sounds as though the solenoid is going out on your starter, or possibly the brushes are worn out on the armature. I doubt it has to do with the cold , mainly because you said it did it after being running for a while (on your trip to Tim Hortons). The starter/solenoid would have been pretty warm at that point ... way warmer than it would need to be if freezing were actually the issue. The part of the solenoid which could be going bad is, there is a copper washer which allows power to flow from the battery to the starter motor itself. When the solenoid is energized, the washer is slammed into these two posts to make the connection. If the washer or posts are becoming worn out, it will only work intermittently. In the starter there are things called brushes. These brushes pass electricity to the right part of the armature at the right time so as to create motion from it. These brushes wear out over time. I've had the brushes run down to the screws which connects them to the spring loa
