Where it becomes an issue is if you were to apply carburetor heat in this scenario. If it is only slightly below freezing, applying carb heat can melt the ice crystals into water, which can then collect and freeze in the carburetor. So applying carb heat below 0'C (or 32'F) can sometime make the situation worse.
