That's interesting, because I've seen -FZRA a *lot* in the last couple of months (check out the current TAF's for KAUG and KSYR, for example). Our FOM changed recently (sometime within the last two years maybe?) to specifically allow us to operate in light freezing rain. I wonder if TAF's/METAR's have used the "light" designation more to allow more flights to go.
