Question When's it too cold for Carb Heat?

As it's been hovering around the zero celsius mark these last few mornings I'm curious to know at what temperature it becomes better not to use carb heat?
Since the carburettor cools the air further would it be safer to not add carb heat than use it and raise the temperature above freezing only to refreeze any moisture inside the carb throttle body?
Thanks
