Default Carb Icing

I ran my flathead today for the first time on the road into 4th gear, it ran great but when we pulled up to turn around it stalled and wouldn’t start. I noticed the base of the carb was covered in frost. We waited for a couple of minutes, the ice melted, the engine started again and ran fine from then on. Is carb icing a thing? Ford 94 carb on a std 1942 flathead. Electric fuel pump.
