As far as natural causes...I'm thinking "Black Ice".

When it has rained for a short time all the water forms on top of dirt and oil, then mixes in.

to be exact... when covered by a film of liquid sufficient enough to reduce the coefficient ecstatic friction between the tyre and the road to essentially zero, but not so deep as to introduce a new source of friction

I believe the road is the most slippery when it first starts to rain after a dry spell. The road has all the oils and greases that have dripped off of other vehicles.

The road is most slippery at freezing temperatures. Below 20 degrees Fahrenheit it actually is less slippery than at 28-32 degrees. The colder it gets below 20, the less slippery it gets.
