Certainly possible.  But my experience (back when I lived where it got cold) 
was that the engine would frequently fire once (kicking the starter drive out) 
and then fail to start.  I would have to back off the starter button, wait for 
it to stop spinning, then try again.  My buddy's MGA did the same thing.  It 
happened much less often in warm weather (but still occasionally).  Not a sign 
of a failing starter as far as I could see.
