As Joe stated, if you could upload a video here so we can hear it, that would be a big help. Setting isn't a good thing for vehicles. The fluids moving in them and the heating and cooling of the engine actually does quite a bit to keep them running properly. For instance the fuel in the tank will start to go "stale", the lack of heat in the engine can let moisture build up and cause issues because it doesn't get boiled off. Things like the injectors are lubricated by the fuel going through them and setting can cause them to gum up and get sticky which will cause rough running. If they set long enough valves can rust in place as well. Plus the battery will constantly have some load on it from things in the vehicle that stay active, like the clock, anti-theft and remote systems. For that it's a good idea to get a battery maintainer to keep things charged while it sets.
Tires going flat means there is some small leak, either a rim is corroded or a small puncture or valve stem leak. Being it's very cold those are not easy to find without a way to find the leak, like a tub or tire bath to see if the leak shows up.
