The "it" is called an expletive, since there is no antecedent or referent, and the "it" merely fills the grammatical requirement for a subject. I have also seen this called a "weather it", and "ambient it".

The antecedent is the noun that a pronoun represents in the sentence. The stated antecedent is an antecedent that is actually in the sentence or a preceding sentence. Sometimes the antecedent is not stated, it is understood by the speaker and the listener. Examples:Margaret made this cabinet herself. She is very handy with tools. The pronouns herself and she represent the stated antecedent Margaret.This is the model car she was telling me about. The antecedent for the pronoun she is not stated, the speaker and the listener already know or understand who she is.
