Does anyone else have this problem?

I've riden in sleet, snow, and ice storms and have never had my brakes
freese up. It's happened to my rear derailer before. I just keep a spray
bottle of windshield washing fluid handy and spray the water off before 
it has a chance to freeze. No, it has never frozen up WHILE I was riding.
