Yep worth checking the balance but as YC says it sounds a bit lean. How was it in the other recent cold weather? I think the carbs have a sort of plate heater to try to prevent icing but it's crap, so the cold air (especially when moist) coming in through the scoops can overpower it. If it hasn't packed up, of course. Redex, waste of time, fix the mechanical problem or if you suspect carb heat problems then try a bit of Silkolene FST (isopropanol) or equivalent.
