light frost
Thin morning ice
A light frost is a thin coating of ice crystals that forms when temperatures drop just below freezing, typically between 28°F and 32°F.
Unlike a hard frost, which kills most vegetation, a light frost may only damage tender plants while hardier ones survive: The tomatoes didn't make it through the light frost, but the kale is fine.
