The starter may be frozen if you've recently driven thru puddles, then let the car set out in freezing weather.

That's exactly what my daughter did a few days ago with her '93 240. Next day her symptoms were just like yours. After a couple of sunny days she tried it again and got a bit of noise from the starter. Tried again right away and it fired up.
