Moist /saturation...

In XP12, pretty much like IRL, you have to  make sure there are water meteors and precipitation...

You need to be in visible moisture as well as cold temperatures.

Regarding icing in XP12 and how it is presently modelled (but it's WIP, and I believe we will be able to see it fine tuned in future updates), there's a very informative post by Janov here:

Excellent explanation, of the phenomena and how & why XP12 presently models it as is.

Again, WIP, which I believe will converge towards a better outcome in future updates.

BTW: a very good and simple explanation of "freezing rain" can be found here: Freezing rain - Met Office
