Ack first really cold day and car doesnt start.

Yesterday was 2nd coldest day of the year I think so far here, about freezing maybe a little above, and car whined like a little girl when I tried to start her up in the morning, but she did start and drove fine. Today got up, lots of ice and slush/snow around and temp about freezing maybe a bit below all night, car WILL NOT start no matter what I do. Battery cranks fine (5 minutes plus on it trying to start so far and its still cranking ok), but engine doesnt catch. Pumping the gas does NOTHING, its like I didnt press the pedal at all.

Fuel gelled? I admit Im a newbie to driving diesels in cold weather.
