Default After snow storm my car is not starting(DC)

After cleaning snow, when I tried to start the car(A4 quatro 1.8T 1999). It didnt start.
When I try to start, this is what happens
I hear a flickering sound, with airbag,seat belt, battery lights flickering on the panel. I was thinking its battery, but the stereo works fine. Any Ideas what must have gone wrong and how to fix it.
I moved to DC recently from Texas, this is my first winter.

Default Your stereo only needs a couple of amps to work the Starter, Ignition System, etc need a few hundred

Your battery is dead jump it and replace it if it dies again.
