This is what happens when it rains and the temperatures are below freezing.

It was rain, otherwise it wouldn't be dripping down the gutter like that.

The temperatures are barely below 32, which means that the rain doesn't immediately freeze upon contact. It is slowly starting to get colder, but the ice on the gutter was caused by rain that fell, flowed off the roof, went into the gutter, and later froze as the temperatures dropped. Freezing rain is still rain. It falls in the form of droplets.

While not a fan of icy roads, I do love seeing sunlight gleaming off of or through tree branches encased in a layer of ice. It can be quite beautiful.
