freezing drizzle
Cold glazing precipitation
Freezing drizzle is light precipitation that falls as liquid but freezes on contact with cold surfaces, coating everything in a thin layer of ice.
Unlike freezing rain, which falls in larger drops, drizzle consists of fine, closely spaced droplets.
Freezing drizzle creates hazardous conditions on roads and sidewalks: The forecast calls for freezing drizzle overnight.
