Freezing Fog Advisory- Issued when fog may reduce visibilities to less than 1/4 mile. In addition, the fog will freeze on exposed surfaces and cause black ice formation on roadways, bridges and sidewalks.
FREEZING FOG Used to describe the phenomena when fog is present and the air temperature is below 0°C. It is reported as "FZFG" in an observation and on the METAR.
Freezing Fog
A suspension of numerous minute ice crystals in the air, or water droplets at temperatures below 0?Ǭ? Celsius, based at the Earth's surface, which reduces horizontal visibility; also called ice fog.
Freezing Level ...
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.
Freezing Fog
Fog with a temperature below freezing that deposits rime on contact with objects.

According to the National Weather Service, some of the obstructions to visibility include blowing and widespread dust, fog (including freezing fog and patchy fog) haze, mist, sand and blowing sand smoke, blowing spray, and volcanic ash.
Freezing FogA fog the droplets of which freeze upon contact with exposed objects and form a coating of rime and/or glaze. Freezing LevelThe altitude at which the air temperature first drops below freezing.
