"Why do thin sections get more ice than thick ones?"

Is it as simple as the thinner wing will have to go faster, and encounter more water droplets, and because the of the thin wing design, less curvature, the water droplets will flow back on the wing, while a Thicker wing, will easier bounce the water droplets off, and also speed will be slower, so less exposure of water droplets?
