hear in MD we tend to get more ice than snow also.... and from my limited experience the narrower the tire the better when it comes to ice

I think once the ATs cut to the pavement they grip better because there are more lugs contacting the ground. ATs lugs are spaced generously, but not as crazy as a mud terrain. The MTs use the lugs as paddles, in the crudest of explinations, and don't contact much with solid ground.
Once you get in some seriously heavy, thick, deep snow, you'll wanna float on top, which is when the larger grooves and huge lugs will help.

It won't be too much different. Its got a bit longer wheel base, so it'll be a bit more predictable when you push the rear around.
