I did find it weird that when he pointed out more, possibly freezing,

I recall the conditions that night as it was over Buffalo, NY, a city to
which I commute weekly via my Bonanza V35.
The controller was wrong in assuming there was freezing rain. Rather, the
precipitation to which he referred was really snow. Her demise was a case of
good old rime icing in the clouds.
