Clear ice
Clear ice refers to a solid
glaze. Clear ice, when formed on the ground, is often called black ice

Clear ice is denser and more homogeneous than
hard rime; like rime, however, clear ice accumulates on branches and overhead lines, where it is particularly dangerous due to its relatively high density
.
