Default Car runs like crap in the cold?

I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue. It snowed yesterday and my car is misfiring, running richer than hell. I thought it was my o2 extensions so I sealed up the connections but I still have issues. I was wondering if it was the colder heat range plugs but under WOT it appears to run ok. Maybe the MAF? I tried unplugging it and really didn't have any different results.
It's throwing codes all over the place. Misfire and o2 issues as well.

Possibly a bad IAT sensor?
