this is info from Tire Rack:
"A wide, low profile or large tire has to "plow" a wide path through snow which causes more resistance. The narrower the tire, the easier you can get through snow."
Also a narrower tire puts more pounds per square inch to the ground which creates a better bite to the snow and ice.
