Whole car has no power.

Just like the title says. Today the car started fine for me 3 times (the car doesn't like the cold) so when I went to re-start it again I lost everything.

No dome light, no radio, no headlights, nothing. I have my blower motor for my heater wired straight to the battery and it still works.

What the hell happened? I need this fixed ASAP.

I finally got a chance to look at it at work, and my main ground cable was screwed bad. Got a different one and also made another ground wire. All is well.
