I appreciate the distinction. I have called the refreeze variety "black ice", but I also call it "glare ice". We had a big problem with it on a Saturday morning back in early December, before there was much salt on the roads.
Am thinking about my tire selection for a road ride tomorrow. Studs or 43 mm gravel tires at low psi? I don't think there's much hard ice around, but lots of very hard packed snow tending toward ice. Hmmm.
