Wind will remove temperature down to the air temp faster. On a sunny day, the road surface will heat water above freezing, splash on a bike (and parts) that's at air temp (below freezing) and you get some funny stuff.

This was a ride about 2 years ago in similar conditions, temps just below freezing with sun and strong winds.

And this funny little ice fender, the tire just barely clears this ice ... you couldn't design something with tolerances this close.
