It reads like a 'draw', a 'short', or a parasitic current draining your battery. All batteries are weakened by cold weather, so the combo just isn't good for it.
You must have a fresh known good battery that is now fully charged. To check it, start your car with it, then DETACH THE BATTERY every time the car is parked.
The above 2 are simple things you can do to diagnose it yourself. #1 can keep you running all winter, #2 will need professional service soon as it will eventually lead you stranded somewhere.
Until you fix it completely you can also get a trickle charger to keep your battery in shape overnight, and get a portable booster battery for safety. There are many models, they look like this.

Make sure you don't have a faulty fuel injector, this may be the cause, also use a can of carb spray and spray around the intake gasket to check for leaks, if one is present you will notice a diff in the engine sound when the spray hits it.

Hi!!
During cold engine starting, the cold start injector is used to supply additional fuel to the intake manifold to aid in initial start-up. The opening and closing of the injector is determined by the start injector time switch. When the engine coolant temperature falls below a certain point, the switch opens the cold start injector. As the engine coolant warms up, the switch will close the injector.
Your problem sounds like fuel delivery problem, let's start bychecking the following fuses
M-fuse (AM2 30A)
Fuses (EFI 15A, IGN 7.5A)
EFI main relay
Fuel pump
ECM
Wiring connections
Next step is replacing the fuel filter and checking fuel pump pressure.
Good look!! Keep me posted!!
