Black ice is that thin sheet of ice that normally forms in freezing temperatures and it is actually transparent, it can form when the air temperature is above freezing although this requires that the ground is frozen and that the air temperature rises quickly to form condensation.
At -18C, car exhaust can freeze and form black ice.
It will not form in a climate where the ground is not at freezing temperatures as without freezing temperatures, you cannot make ice of any kind.
Studded tyres will make it a non issue.
