Unexpected Ice?

Trying to fly an approach to RWY 9 at KTEX, which is at 9,070'.  I had set the ambient temp at 38° C, with no clouds and you see the OAT at 11,200' while on the ILS was 58° F.   I had descended from 14,500' with no problem and then suddenly, just as I approached the IAF - the windows iced up.  The ice did not melt until I had been on the ground at 100° F for a while.   Seems unusual?  This has also happened other times in clear air at temps above 10°C but I ignored it at that time.
