Yes, I've had this once in a while in the past, to the extent that on one occasion I stopped and checked my tyre pressures. The last time was on roads that I travelled every day and it was just this one day that it felt like I was almost driving on ice (I wasn't, as the temperatures were low but had been a few degrees above freezing for a few days).
I can only assume it's a specific combination of greasy roads and weather conditions.
Someone did suggest to me that it might be due to the chemicals in the gritting that they spread when there's likely to be ice, but I've no idea if that's the case. It would seem a bit stupid to make the roads slippery when you're trying to make them safer.
