If it was a Dragon, I would say..... voltage reg, as mine did the same thing. (thanks to a lot of help from this site, for diagonsing{sp} it)

So I let the pro sit in the heated shop for 24 hrs pulled the cord and she fired and idled no problem....So I don't know if I just had some ice inbehind the throttle safety switch or in some other electical stuff....got her loaded in the back of the truck let her sit outside over night and see how she starts in the morning i guess.

This happened to a buddy of mine XP last year. Except it happened on the hill. We were in some really deep snow, and we were taking a break, went to start up his sled, wouldn't go. Throttle was stuck slightly on because of snow packed in there. When we towed it back down to the truck, the temp had dropped enough that it melted and it started right up. The Pro also has this issue with the brake light. Snow gets in there and the brake light comes on, thinking the brake is on, but it's just packed with snow.
