No, but maybe the mix was incorrect, with too much water content for the conditions, so it froze. Or the airframe was not properly clear of ice after de-icing. Or you went beyond your maximum hold-over time for the conditions?

So your full-and-free check just before take-off was OK, but the controls froze during the take-off roll? Or was the wing iced? Weird.

Had an elevator freeze solid in the cruise on a BAe 146, which was alarming. We pushed and pulled on the yokes, and it eventually broke free with a big shudder through the aircraft.
