Forget the theory. When doing my FI course a few years back, in mid-January, I was shutting down the R22, and when I closed the throttle the engine stopped due to carb ice. The temperature was about -2C, with apparently very dry air.

I reckon you can get carb icing in ANY weather conditions that the UK is likely to throw at you!!!
