Subject:Not starting

While I know this could be fairly simple. I am very new to my Vanagon. It's
been mighty cold here in upstate NY. Close to 16 degrees and sometimes -15
with windchill factor. I have not been driving my 88' Westy very often (2-3
short trips a week). The other I went to start her up, and nothing. Coolant
light flickered, went off and the battery light stayed on. No turnover or
noise as if it was attempting at all. Is this as simple as a battery
recharge (brand new high-end battery was put in in August). Or could this be
the Alternator? Anything else? Suggestions welcome.
