Remove the bowl on the carb and see if your main jet is laying in there. This has happened from time to time with 400EX's and the symptoms were exactly as you described.

if the main came out of the holder is would sputter at about 1/2 throttle and not run on top end

when its that cold out make sure u let it warm up awhile before running it hard or you will score the cylinder...even 4 strokes dont like being hammered on when dead cold...
