Looking at a battery doesn't tell us much.Since you do not work on your car I would take it to Advance Auto,Auto Zone that will test your battery and alternator.
I would think on those damp mornings with all that cranking the engine and no start I would look at changing plug wires,distributor cap and rotor would be in order.That's an easy fix that you could do,the main thing is plug wires. Take one off at a time so you don't change the firing order.
If you run into a problem we can walk you through it.
