Could still be the battery as the ignition lights take very little power. if not sounds like starter or bad connection possibly on the earth.

Same as barefoot check battery first thinks it shoulf be putting out at least 11v any less and it may have had it. If it starts after a jump it should be 15v at battery if its not could be alternator

If battery is good, and starter ok, then this time of year it is usually just a corroded connection. The wires to the starter motor are exposed to the elements.

My first guess though would be battery. Do the ignition light go out when you turn the key?
