I don't remember what the freezing point of propane is but the boiling point at atmospheric pressure is about -42 degrees. At temperatures below that there will not be any pressure in the tank to push the propane out to the converter/mixer.
What you are experiencing most likely is flooding caused by not having enough heat available to vaporize the fuel before it leaves the converter. Propane expands 270 times it volume when changing from liquid to vapor so just a few drops of liquid in the mixer will cause the fuel mixtures to be too rich to run. When it is flooded, shut the fuel off at the tank or fuel shut off and crank the engine until it fires. It may run a second or two as the flooding clears. Then open the fuel and try restarting it.
