Cold weather has no intrinsic effect on a lead acid battery, other than the fact that cranking a cold engine takes a little more power.
OP might be well-served to get a "pulsing" float charger. There is some evidence it will "de-sulfate" an aging battery that's been misused. Otherwise, any Autozone etc would be tickled to load test the battery and accurately determine its state of health.
