The colder the air the less moisture it can hold. Therefore appling carb heat in tempetures below - 10 no visable moisture you are increasing the temp where it can hold more moisture compounded with the venturie effect you now have carb ice with the heater on!
Think about it.... where does the additional moisture come from?
