Cold morning.... Crank but no start.

Well, the Daily Driver '99 Boxster failed for the first time this morning.
It got down to 17 degrees last night, was 20 when I went out this morning. The car hasn't been driven in two days (switched to my Jeep due to flooding rains the last two days).
The car started right up but then immediately died and wouldn't start again.
I'd crank it for about 5 seconds, rest, crank another 5, etc, for about seven or eight minutes before it finally sputtered to life. It blew a huge puff of white smoke when it fired. Running fine now.
It's weird, it was almost acting like an old car with a bad choke (any of you guys over 40 remember starting a car in the winter in the old days?)
I'll have my mechanic do a check on it this week but thought I'd get some ideas from you guys while I'm at it.
Thanks!
