The amount of snow Greenland gets every year varies dramatically depending on where on the island you're talking about. High on the ice sheet receives almost none because it is so cold and dry. The southeastern part of Greenland receives several meters of snow every year due to its location in the North Atlantic storm track. Furthermore, there are not a lot of stations measuring snow in Greenland, so the snowfall data for 2009 would be quite sparse anyway.
