2008 Fit cold weather, won't start

I have a 2008 Fit S, manual, 75,000 miles. This is my first winter, and might be my car's first winter as well. I bought it in Texas and recently moved to Minnesota.
Before the cold weather arrived I got my Fit serviced and the mechanic said it was in top shape. Over the past week it has been cold (-15 C / 10 F) and my Fit has been starting without a problem and running like a charm. Today it failed to start. Every time I turn the key, the dashboard lights turn on but I get a whirring/clicking sound and the engine doesn't start. Any ideas? Is the battery? The solenoid? The starter?

Most likely a bad battery. Have it load tested.
