A weak spark because of weakened battery is a common "no start" problem with very cold temps. I did two things with a previous euro car that had difficulty starting when temps dipped below 20F - used starting fluid (ether) sprayed into the intake, plus overnight I placed a floodlight under the hood and pointed at the battery. Not too close or the plastic melts. About 20 inches away did the trick. I haven't had the need to use starting fluid on my 900, but if I did need that I'd use one of the large vacuum ports on the intake manifold.
