There was freezing rain, but they already said that it wasn't weather related. The ATR is specifically known for its problems during icing.

I think of American Eagle flight 4184 which was an ATR-72 that went down in Indiana back in 94 due to icing on the wings

ATRs are used on southern/carib routes for that reason.

Glad the crew was ok.
