2. I never knew there was such a thing

Until we had an ice fog here in East Tennessee. It's much cooler up close. It's like all these tiny pieces of ice floating around you. It was amazing.

5. You need certain conditions to be present

The NWS calls it "freezing fog" and they do have an alert for it as one of their advisory products! All you basically need is to have your air temp and dewpoint temperature close to each other and near/at/below the water freezing temp of 32 (where the humidity would then be close to 100%) and have little or no wind, to trigger it.
