That might actually help! Wider tyre will give you more grip. As other people have pointed out, slightly reduced tyre pressure can increase grip in winter.
Up to a point................. in ice and snow a narrower tyre can be better as it cuts through the top surface better. Same principle as knobbly tyres.

It depends upon the surface and the tyre's tread pattern.
