Carburetor icing can occur even in warm weather. As long as we're on the topic, carburetor icing is basically a wind chill in reverse. Just as wind chill is based on the fact that our bodies are cooled by evaporating sweat (even in small unnoticeable amounts), the evaporation of fuel in the carburetor cools it from the inside and, when running hard and evaporating a lot of fuel in a hurry, that evaporation can be enough to chill the carb to where, if there is enough humidity on the outside, form water and ice.
As far as the government . . . they worded it poorly (Are we surprised?). It goes back to the other point. Windchill is not actually colder, it only feels that way. Frostbite is basically the water in your bodily cells freezing. Wind chill can lower the temperature of your body by evaporating heat more quickly, but 40* air in a howling gale can only lower the temperature of ANYTHING to 40*, not to freezing or below, so no frostbite. Cold enough to be painful, yes, but not frostbite.
