It’s been raining and below freezing for the last 18 hours or so. It’s supposed to stay this way for another day too.

Basically rain that froze before hitting the ground. Freezing rain is just rain is falling when it’s below freezing out and freezes onto things. It’s very dangerous. “Ice rain” is ambiguous and I’ve never heard it before yesterday. It sounds more like it would mean sleet.
