Default need help car sputtering

after driving like 20 miles in a lot of snow the car started to sputter and like missfire. it would nod accelerate when i hit the gas. i went under the hood and the cold air intake was like ice cold. do you think it could have gotten wet or somthing and that is causing the problem? it has never done this before. and this is the first snow ive driven it in. no check engine light either.

You're running rich. Make sure there's no restrictions inside the filter piping. Check to see if your filter element is clogged.

I'm guessing that the ice clogged up the filter element. Put your stock intake back on or switch to a short ram.
