If that were the case, then cold things wouldn't slip on ice, but they do (for a demonstration, pick up a rock that's been sitting out in the cold and note that it still slides on ice)

Wouldn't that just be due to the low coefficient of friction?

You mean, its slipperiness?

I'm not sure a cold rock sliding across very cold ice will slide any better than if the ice was another very large smooth rock. Ice is hard and smooth. Hard smooth things have low friction.
