Why do standard car batteries die much faster in extreme freezing winter weather?

My car started perfectly all summer, but on the first freezing winter morning, the engine refused to crank. What happens to the internal chemical layout?

Freezing temperatures slow down the internal chemical reactions inside a lead-acid battery, slashing its current output capacity by up to 50% while the cold engine oil turns thick and heavy.
