Yes, But only if the battery has a good level of charge in it

Lights / heaters / wipers / low mileage / audio, mean that they are just as prone to go flat in these temperatures as any others

The car won't necessarily start any easier if you fit a battery with a larger CCA than standard, it will just have the ability to turn the engine over for a longer period.

Keep an open mind about the claimed capability of the battery.

Good quality usually costs money. I would prefer to buy a smaller genuine battery than a larger no-name battery of unknown provenance.
