I have a 1993 subaru legacy that starts and fine except when the
weather is cold. Actually I shouldn't say that , it will start fine
with a portable jumpstarter that I keep in the car(I imagine it would
jumpstart from another car too) Mostly in the mornings is when I have
trouble, but sometimes it will not start later on in the day, or
sometimes I will start it up and drive even a short distance, and then
it wont start on the way back. Any suggestions?

Had your battery's cold cranking amps tested yet?

If you mean it cranks but will not start, possibly an intermittent crank
angle sensor or maybe a bad engine temp sensor(not temp gauge sender).
