Freezing fog is a suspension of numerous minute ice crystals in the air, or water droplets at temperatures below 0C, and visibility less than 5/8SM (Statute miles), based at the earth's surface. A report of freezing fog does not necessarily mean that ice is forming of surfaces though.

Freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white rime ice. This is very common on mountaintops which are exposed to low cloud. It is equivalent to freezing rain, and essentially the same as the ice that forms inside a freezer which is not of the "frostless" or "frost-free" type.

Fog that forms when the temperture is below 32 degrees and can freeze items on the surface fairly rapidly.

Some times when the air is saturated the temperature falls and the moisture in the air freezes on all surfaces,sometimes you can see the crystals in the air.
