SAAB 9-5 Battery Problem

My car sits outside since there are no more garage spots. it started snowing a few days ago so my car has been sitting outside about 2 days covered in snow. today i got in the car and turned it on to let it warm up while i scraped the windows. when i got back in, the engine had shut off (the radio and lights were still on). i tried to start the car but it wasnt working! it just made clicking noises. i know it cant be a problem with the battery because we just got a brand new battery AND alternator. so what up with my car????:(

make sure connnections are tight on battery first. then check to see if it will turn over, might just be a loose connection. then check underhood fuses
