Growing up in LA, we didn't have this problem, but as a young pup of about 7 I *did* get my tongue stuck to a popsicle (that had been kept on dry ice) in the middle of the summer... So I equate getting your tongue stuck with 90+degree heat, not winter. (Christmas Story and Very Merry Muppet Christmas to the contrary notwithstanding. :-) ).
