There has to be a near perfect blend of humidity and air temperature for carb icing to occur...as in usually air at or slightly above freezing and enough humidity in the air that ices up the interior of the air intake/carb from some sort of 'venture effect'...but then as mentioned any water in the fuel will likely freeze at lower than freezing temperatures....in the tank..in the lines/filter and in the carb float bowel.
I've had to get vehicles inside and partly thawed so I could blow pencils of ice out of the fuel lines several times...and take the top off the carb to get the ice from the jets too. Doesn't take much water in the fuel system to block things up. Just a touch in the bottom of the carburetor will do.
The other carb icing is fairly rare on earth-bound vehicles although I have heard of it happening. It's usually heard about as a potentially deadly aviation phenomenon.
