Why are narrower tires better in the snow?

Why would narrow tires that provide less contact with the ground be better than wider tires? Wouldn’t wider tires provide more contact with the ground?

Narrower tires means that cars weight is distributed to a smaller area of tire contacting the ground. So with weight staying the same and area decreasing, you are increasing the amount of pressure exerted on the ground in a given area.

Also instead of just plowing through snow/ice with your tires, a thinner wheeler cuts through it instead of just pushing it.
