Warm Blooded Bikes?

Okay, here's my problem:

A couple of weeks ago, it got pretty cold here in the desert, like around freezing. My GZ wouldn't start at all; I eventually wore down the battery trying to start it. I had the choke all the way open and had plenty of gas. I haven't had any problems before or since. I ended up having to push-start it and it started right up. Could it just be that my bike hates the cold or should I be ready to start looking for a new battery? I've always had problems starting it in the cold (even last year when I bought a new battery), and I'm thinkin' that it's just a temperature thing. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
