Both will suck ass.

If the snow cover isn't very thick (just a couple of inches on top of road) a thin tire will cut through it better to get to the road.

There is likely ice under that snow so you need studded tires like these:

Note they come in various widths: down to 35mm (commuting road bike size) to 2 inches (MTB).

I would take these in the 40mm width over the other sizes for commuting in the snow.
