As above also leaves, which get extra slippery.
You'll often find that the cars will make you a pair of nice dry stripes, not on ideal bike lines but if it's just mildly frosty and not been wet these will mostly be a slip free chicken zone. Major roads and bus routes will usually be gritted so easier on anything minor.
Observe, watch for places where the sun don't shine so remain cold enough for water to keep frozen or if it's a zero day where stuff might refreeze.
Just be smooth (er than usual) and pack up on armour
