Could be just crud coming loose from the de icer. I'm not really sure what the go is there, we don't have snow in Australia. You said you used a lot of de icer so it might be just the carb burning that cleaner out. Sounds like it just needs a good run up to operating temperature to get rid of any excess de icer in the intake. So do you put this stuff in the gas tank or use it as a carb cleaner?

Sounds like you've got a hell of a misfire that only pops up under load, and only when the engine is cold. That's not ringing any bells for me, but I'd start by checking the vac lines (especially the one to the fuel pressure regulator), checking for any ECU codes, and maybe doing an ohms check on the temperature sensor as well.
