Space X barge landing failure

The Space X barge landing failed the other day. coming so close but ultimately it toppled over and exploded due to one of the legs not locking in place. the explanation being thrown around was that it didn't lock due to ice caused by the foggy launch conditions. this is a little confusing ... how on earth does ice withstand a launch, re-entry and landing. Am i missing something here? i just cant see how this could have been the issue unless the ice caused damage prior to lift off.
