89 firebird formula 305 wont start in cold

now i have had no problems with my bird when it has been warm out but whenever it gets really cold (minnesota) it doesnt wanna start worth crap. the engine turns fine but no ignition after spending five minutes trying to start it.. it sometimes starts but runs fine when it does. alot of the time the car will feel like its trying to start but wont. usualy have to recharge the battery to get it to go. any ideas?

well how old is the battery? Extreme cold/heat isnt exactly the best for an older one lol
