Default Mountain wave icing (2nd try)

I didn't get much of a response in general topics, so maybe somebody here will help me figure this out:

So I am studying along and up comes this question:
Where does most icing occur in Mountain Wave? Above or below the lenticular cloud?
I looked everywhere and cannot find an answer!
I would assume that the windward side (Updraft) side of the wave carries the most icing potential, and I would assume that most icing potential would be below the lennticular cloud, because lennies are mainly made up of ice crystals.

Anybody get a good answer with source?

Scroll down to the section "Mountain Wave Icing". It is at the bottom of pg 207.
