Why doesn't my Dodge Avenger start in cold weather suddenly?

I have a 98' Avenger that I keep regular maintenance on and it is in excellent working order. I live in western NY and the temperature this week has been in the 1-5 range with a wind chill of -20. Three times this weekend my car needed a jump to get started; none of my neighbors cars failed to start neither did my wifes. Oh yeah, it is a Mopar battery purchased 2 years ago.
This happened 3 weeks ago and my father came to give me a jump. He noticed some corrosion on the terminals, but after that 1st jump the car kept starting fine. I have yet to clean the terminals.
Here's where I'm confused. I go to start the car and it makes the whirring noise. After 2 or 3 trys, the indicators no longer light up and the car makes a clicking sound, which I think means the battery is drained.
After connecting cables, the car will start immediately. My radio and clock are re-set.
Could the corrosion prevent the battery from starting/charging or is it something worse, like the alternator?

It may be the alternator or loose connections on the battery.

Oh and to Arfonse D learn something. While it is a Dodge Avenger, it is a Mistubushi platform and drivetrain.
