Probably just a coincidence but you could check for shorted wires near the diff. Cold weather kills batteries. If your battery is several years old it may need replacement.

Disconnect negative cable and use multimeter to complete circuit. Anything over 50 ma is considered parasitic drain. Then pull fuses one at a time to track down the problem circuit/circuits
