You can eliminate this though by adding 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to the fuel tank, which will bind with any possible water in the tank and burn it off safely as fuel, but also lowering the freezing point of any moisture in the carbs, either from the air or fuel tank.
Because of where you live there is a greater chance of moisture in the tank due to humidity so it's certainly worth a go.

I use it a few times a year in my bike around winter time to remove any unwanted moisture,

And with the Ethanol in fuel now, water is more easily absorbed into the fuel, adding to your carb icing woes and also increasing the risk to the inside of your steel fuel tank being attacked by rust. I've read that if leaving your bike unridden for over a month can cause issues with the fuel. In last months Decembers Practical Sportsbikes there is a "how to" on removing the Ethanol from your fuel if the bike is going to be parked up for a while. They use a kit made by a company called Ethanil. It's a really easy process.
