Why are Props and T-Tails more susceptible to icing?
More susceptible than what? Jets? Well, if so, TPs tend to fly lower down in the atmosphere where then get more exposure to icing conditions. Jets tend to transit through the icing conditions in climb and descent rather than cruise in them. Perhaps that is a factor.
