The only reasons I can think of regarding this is:
A diesel car would/could possibly be better in snow is the fact that they are mostly a bit heavier than similar petrol cars.
Heavier car mean better grip on the road/snow.
Another aspect is the slower acceleration. This is preferable on a semi-slippery road.
There are on the other hand other issues with diesel that makes it a worse choice with increasing cold.
Diesel can actually go stiff when being exposed to low temperatures.
This is a problem already at -20 degrees Celsius.
The diesel providers (Shell/Statoil/Q8/BP and a lot of others) add stuff to the diesel so that it does not freeze but this is not done all year round.
It is also a common problem to actually start up a freezing cold diezel car.

No wide tyres or better because the give more grip Actually wider tires don't give you more grip in snow. They simply allow more snow to pile up in front of the tire. On Ice or snow pack a wider tire will provide better grip but in deep snow the thinner tire works better. Chicago winters taught me that.
