Emphasis mine. That's actually not reliably true with freezing rain; I've had plenty of experience to the contrary. Each "freezing rain" situation is different, any any of them can turn a riding/driving surface into a skating rink. It's a sketchy situation, and there aren't any tricks that work every time.
