Not starting can be alot of things inculding frozen fuel lines or a fuel pump that so cold it won't turn. If it's cranking just fine you might try knocking on the fuel tank to shake the pump. with someone trying to start the car knock on the fuel tank and listen fort the pump. If the battery is too low the pump might not start but the engine may still crank. It might start if it warms up outside and you'll never know what the rerason was. Keeping your fuel tank above half a tank is a good idea too. Try to connect and jumper car to yours and let it charge the battery for awhile then try to start it as the extra voltage might be enough to start a cold pump.

My 2003 Mercury Mountaineer alarm system goes off by itself sometimes. Keeps repeating even though I remotely cut it off. Last night I had to finally go out and start the vehicle to make it quit.

bad door switch. See this post

http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/dome-light-stays-on/

The BCM sees it as a door opening and sets off the alarm

A bad door switch can malfunction ANY time. The alarm is looking for a door switch or hood switch opening. That's where you start--with an intermittent switch
