Default 02 Mustang GT will not start

I recently returned to Minot from a deployment to Guam, Came back to find my entire front end was burried in snow. Got it dug out and it started up fine for the 1st day. Started it up 4 or 5 times let it run for awhile drove it around a bit and turned in for the night.

The next morning we had a light snow and my car wont start!
All I get is a *click* sound, I tried replacing the battery and still, same thing just a *click* When I turn the key all the lights go out except the battery and the check engine light. I dont know if those go out only after start but they are on when turning the key.
It probably hit below zero last night so maybe I just need to wait it out for a warmer day?
I tried several times throughout the day and same *click* every time.

Also I had below a quarter tank of fuel from 5 months ago, maybe my fuel lines froze up? or the starter itself went bad?

You have a battery voltage meter on your dash, wheres the needle at when you turn the key to "ON"?
If it's the battery, it's nothing a good old fashioned jump start couldn't fix.
