Pressure and weight harden snow. Best example: snow shoveled from a roof turns to something close to concrete. I've had to take an AX to that snow many a time. Another example: snow falling on a glacier turns to ice as it compacts.
There is ice in my driveway right now from where the mailman drive his truck on it yesterday. So yes, the plow truck does cause the ice.

Does the plow have to pull the snow backwards in any spots? If so, that's your issue.
