Keep in mind that water does funky things at "zero degrees". It both melts and freezes, depending on the state it was in.

We did a flight into central OH a couple of nights ago and got the same inversions you had, almost +10 at 12,000 with a steady decrease to +2 at the surface with a nice little flip to -2 or so around 6,000, but we were in the clear there. No icing while in the clouds but the rain was freezing very nicely to the parts of the wing that had fuel in them (on the ground).
