can you get to the airfilter pretty easy on that machine? (I'm not very familiar with it)

If you can...partially cover the air filter until it gets warmed up...

I your choke line is frozen, try using a hair dryer to warm up the carb and then remove it and clean the corrosion/water etc from it. Apply a little bit of lithium grease when you reinstall it to keep it from refreezing.

if all else fails. go through the humility of having your brother tow you with his 250 timberwolf and have it thaugh out in there nice heated garage. id leave it there till it warms up.
