This IS really strange! I to have exactly the same problem as Dave!
Only mine is at 265,000km's. Between 5 and 15 key turns to get the
starter to turn. I think the Solenoid contacts are burned up but was
suggested to replace the whole starter. Why do these things ALWAYS crap
out when the snow comes!
