You have to be careful when doing this... The TB is heated to stop the throttle plate getting frozen in position in cold weather. I can't say i can recall a time when the temperature in sydney was cold enough to stick the throttle. You dont have to be in freezing weather for it to freeze up. The vaccuum through the throttle body can cause it to cool down a lot. A good example of this is drag cars where they spray alcohol onto the throttle plates to stop them freezing open.
