Angry dead battery

Can a completely screwed battery make it almost impossible to boost your truck?I think mine might have gotten screwed from sitting all winter in the Canadian cold and now i cant get it to full start by a boost...it just turns over very slowly but wont start. CAN THIS HAPPEN??????.....HELP

Could be possible that its not getting enough juice to run the ignition, and if the battery is toast, it is possible that a boost won't even help

it can have a bad cell and will suck up the juice when you jump start it. a battery that is that far drained is normally no good and will cause problems including the alternator to work harder.
next time store the battery inside and use a trickle charger to maintain it.
