Thanks Ben, but I sorta doubt it because I've ridden plenty of times in weather 40 or 50 deg colder without encountering anything like this.

I consider that a possibility jimc101 - The crank came from an old Schwinn le Tour, and conceivably some PO had installed a left side pedal in it at some time. The odd thing is that I put about 100 hard miles on it before this happened -I would have thought it would have failed sooner in that case.
