Cold surfaces.
Freezing rain occurs when liquid (supercooled) raindrops fall into a subfreezing surface layer and freeze on contact with cold surfaces. Ice pellets and snowflakes are different precipitation types; warm temperatures aloft (not at the surface) help form the raindrops, but the key factor at the surface is cold temperatures/surfaces.
