It's happened before at this time of year. Maybe it did lose a cylinder, but carby ice is my bet.

Recall LAMEs talking about heading over to the golf course with a fine pitch prop to recover a SE Piper where the same thing probably happened.

Problem with Carburetor Icing is it's hard to prove once the plane is on the ground and ice has melted.
