30 mm. I mostly ride on cleaned sidewalks and bike trails but do get stuck during transition from one to another.

Narrow pushes into the snow better. As long as there is no ice underneath its doable. But get some marathon winter spiked tires instead.

That’s madness, light sand and I’m scared off a fall on 25s

That’s not snow. That’s slush…

My friends have made an experiment and were surprised that very thin tyres are somehow better in snow because they can penetrate it and contact with an asphalt/ground. Unlike wide tyres, which have to push a lot of snow around and lose a lot of energy on that. But it is like anecdotal evidence at best.
Most “sane” people (if you can call that those, who ride on bicycle in snow) would use something like agressive wide MTB tyres, winter tyres with spikes, or just straight up fat bike during the winter.

Like people here said, if it’s just snow, you’ll be fine. (I hope you have some kind of tread. Or studs)
However, when the snow packs in like if you follow a beaten path without difficulty on a car lane for example and need to switch to the side towards the unbeaten one, you will slide and fall. (This will mostly be the case with any tyre though except for maybe the real fatties)
I find that when it comes to frozen snow/slush/ice the wider the better due to bigger surface giving better stability. With studs.

Nobody.
Stay safe dude, take a buss or a walk if you must, don’t end up under a car
I thought it was interesting. Kind of like riding in sand.
