Because ice is solid you can argue it takes less information because the particles aren't moving at all or in together in unison, so it will take less buts to encode.

Furthermore, velocity is also a product of direction as much as speed, so if you take into consideration a solid object may vibrate it's particles in the same direction while a liquid can have it's particles in infinite directions, you're talking about way more information you have to encode.
