Yup, and it's surprising how fast that happens.
I used to go mountain biking with a group of guys every Saturday. We liked the below freezing days because it was never muddy. Hit a little patch of ice, however, and you are flat on the ground before you can even say "oops."
I haven't tried it with my trike yet. 30 degrees seems a lot colder than it used to be.
