Cold starting

Hi all, Is it about right as soon as the cold wether comes the Rx's dont like starting?

I own a 1990 Turbo 2. I will start by saying it has just had a compretion test (all around 110 psi). I am haveing problems with the every day runing of my car (when the temps below 0 deg), it does not like to start and floods if it does not start first turn of the key. When i do get it to run it ticks over fine but takes along time to warm up and drinks alot of fuel compared to when it is a nice day.

I know all the things about leting the car warm up before turning it off and cool down after a good run but it does not make any diffrence to the poor starting.

Does this sound like a typical winter Rx or is my car playing up?
