"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."

no comment on better grip for narrower tires ...

AFAIK narrower tires will mean more weight due to a smaller contact patch, so the wheels will dig into the snow more easily, so they'll find the solid ground beneath more easily, it's not really a matter of grip.

Take a look at rally cars in the snow, their wheels are ridiculously narrow!
