Do you hear the fuel priming when you turn key to accessory.

Bring your battery inside with you overnight and cuddle up with it. Throw it in before you start in the a.m. and see if that makes a difference. The only thing I can think of is that your battery isn't putting out enough cold cranking amps to get a good engine spin + spark going. If it starts fine with a warm battery your battery is getting old/weak.
