Question Frozen 560sel

Minus 20 this morning and tried to start the car with the remote start unit (aftermarket). marker lights came on to signal attempt and then flashed to signal failure. Went out to do it the old fashioned way and got nothing when i turned the key in the ignition. Noticed that the dome light didn't come on either so I popped the hood and pressed the reset button in front of the battery but still got no result.
Not being satisfied with a simple problem, I proceeded to compound it by trying a jump from my 190e that was already running.
Upon hooking up the connection, my engine began to slowly turn with no evidence of firing even though I hadn't put in the key. The 190 then stalled and would not retart.
There appears to be lots of power in the battery, it's just not getting where it's needed.

any ideas?
