Which type of AIRMET is related to icing?

Icing hazards for pilots are addressed by the AIRMET labeled Zulu. This AIRMET communicates the potential for icing and the freezing level heights along a route, helping pilots plan to avoid icing conditions. The other AIRMETs cover different hazards: Sierra deals with IFR conditions and mountain obscuration, Tango with moderate turbulence, and Alpha with other weather phenomena not included in the first three. So for icing, the Zulu AIRMET is the one to consider.
