From the METARS it looked like it froze, then there was rain and snow and then it froze again. The rain and snow may well have washed the de-icer off the runway and maybe they weren't able to get more de-icer down for whatever reason before it froze again.

But whatever happened - or didn't - it's just a tad embarrassing....
