I'd charge the battery right up. That sounds like it's just on the bare edge of turning the engine over and is getting hung up on the ring gear. Being cold would reduce the available cranking amps and it will have spent the night discharging from the previous days drive. Or put it on a jump starter right away for the cold start and see if that stops it. In which case, replace the battery.
Was thinking starter but (admittedly have poor quality on mobile) this makes sense too.
This time of year its pretty safe blaming batteries. The temp goes down and all the marginal cells show up.
You are correct, battery problems are rampant this time of year, just not hearing it in this video but, being from canola land I'm guessing you've probably dealt with plenty of cold weather related battery issues
