Round here it has been at or around freezing pretty much since the New Year and it started off with a snowfall, then rain and then a deep freeze. I remember commenting when out dog walking that you could physically see where the tarmac on the pavements had lifted and separated from the kerbing due to the deep freeze.
Similarly, any previous repairs on the pavement and road, unlkess they were absolutely sealed, then they were lifting away as well and crumbling.
That, mixed with gritting and snow ploughs, is not good news for the surfaces!
