Most aviation meteorology books with a section on icing will tell you about supercooled water droplets - ie those existing below 0 degrees C which can be found in temperatures as low as -40 degrees C, normally in cloud with lots of vertical movement.

However, it requires the absence of appropriate freezing nuclei in the atmosphere for the water to freeze onto.
