The first place I'd look is timing. It is also the easiest thing to check. Loosen your distributor hold-down and back off the timing slightly then hit the key. If it bogs down more, you're turning the wrong direction. You should only turn it slightly either way. If this is the problem, the idle will probably change slightly too.

If this does nothing to help, take a look at the starter. They can act as a heat sink. The heat wreaks havoc with bad windings. In this weather, however, it is not a likely culprit.

Let me know if I can help. I'll be happy to swing by.
