Rich,
I might add that I also think the cruise temps you mentioned (in your first post) could be part of the problem. Your first post mentions (proudly!) that your engine temps were around 165 degrees (if I remember right) and this could be causing the fuel in the intake to not stay atomized... and might help explain why - today - with the warmer air temps - your problem wasn't happening as much.
I raised my thermostat to 195 degree version. EVERYTHING works better now. The pistons (forged) seal better - I use less oil - and the motor just purrs... I also have a 427 small block. New fuel injected motors are running 200 degrees plus at operating temps. This is due in part to emissions (I think) - but I also think it helps with fuel injection.
Just a thought is all...
