What are 'Icing Conditions'?

Ok, so before anyone replies "Conditions where icing exists", I want to know what is meant by the term in the flight manual 'operation in known icing condition is prohibited'. My company, as a general rule use 5 degrees or less in visible moisture but i have heard others say you are ok to 0 degrees in moisture. Can anyone, using their encyclopedic knowledge and experience illuminate me on what temperature you can LEGALLY fly in visible moisture to remain within the parameters detailed in the AFM????
