You could have a compression issue with one or more of the cylinders, meaning they aren't pumping out full power.
I'd recommend taking it to an engine tuning garage, and asking them to run a diagnostic on the ECU, and also mechanically check the engine to see that all cylinders are doing their job.

Possible flooding, cold weather can freez open injectors causing them to leak into the cylinders. Press the gass pedal all the way to the floor and crank the engine for no more than 60 seconds. The cylinders will clear themselves allowing proper mix of air/fuel and should start easy. If that does not solve please specify if the engine is 1.8l or 2.8l.
