Hope battery is just low and not stone dead. Try to charge it up right where it is or get a strong jump - leave cables on several minutes before an attempt. If stone dead I don't suggest jumping as battery could have frozen and shorted - if so would react horribly to donor vehicle and could be dangerous.
Take battery out for charging and testing if at all possible.
Note: Snow isn't really any different to the car sitting than just being cold out. Makes it a pill to clear off to move it though if need be without being able to warm it up
