carb ice question

Most cars these days are fuel injected, but can someone please explain why cars with carburettors don't fail thru an intake blocked with carb/throttle ice?? As I understand it, the temp range for ice is -5 to +30 degs c, with relative humidity +50%. Most cars spend their entire time in these conditions, and MOGAS is more volatile than AVGAS so the cooling effect should be more. Any ideas??
