If you know someone with a DC clamp meter you can check the current draw. If its major, then the problem is in the starter. If its minor, the problem is in the solenoid.
If you don't, you could direct wire to the starter. If it starts the problem is the solenoid.
All of this assumes the battery is good. Since batteries put out less energy the colder they are, your battery may be in the early stages of failure too.
