What is freezing fog?
"Tiny, supercooled liquid water droplets in fog can freeze instantly on exposed surfaces when surface temperatures are at or below freezing. Some surfaces that these droplets may freeze on include tree branches, stairs and rails, sidewalks, roads and vehicles. Extreme caution should be taken if travel is necessary. Freezing fog can cause black ice to form on roadways. Black ice is difficult to see and so [is] particularly dangerous." (NOAA).
Basically, it is fog that occurs at temperatures below 32 which could freeze. This would lead to icy roads and sidewalks.
Temperatures will get to about 43 tomorrow with some clearing in the afternoon once the fog lifts.
