meh bye the time you get in the car would be rusted to nothing anyway, and look at the houses in the back gorud none on them hence the fact it is salt from the sea which is right behing the wall the cars are parked next to.

it is ice
as i said in the other thread its a rare type of weather where supercooled rain droplets fall as a liquid and as soon as they hit the ground/cars/trees they instantly turn to ice.
u can replicate the phenomenon sometimes with your freezer when you put a bottle of water in the freezer, it doesnt solidify but its temp is still lower than 0, and when u take it out you agitate the molecules and it solidifies in your hand.
people ask about it every once in a while on the science forums.
