None. There is less than five percent humidity in Antarctica, so there is essentially no show. What blows around on top of the ice sheet are ice crystals, blown free by the Katabatic winds on the continent.

How deep does the snow get in Antarctica?
There is no snow in Antarctica: it's too dry and cold. Blowing ice crystals, however, can drift up to the top story of any building during windy periods.
Is Antarctica on top of ice?
No. Ice sits on top of Antarctica -- 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet.
Is there any theaters in Antarctica?
They have Ice theaters on top of Ice caps
What causes snow and firn to be compressed into mass of ice?
Mostly just the weight of more snow and ice on top of it.
Is the south pole land?
Its ice on top on land; the continent Antarctica.
The frozen continent that covers the South Pole?
Is called Antarctica. Although 98% of Antarctica is ice, there is land underneath the ice cover unlike the Arctic where the ice floats on top of the ocean.
Why are all of the ice shelves melting away from antarctica?
The centre of Antarctica has had snow falling on it for about 100,000 years. This snow doesn't melt but becomes ice with the weight of more snow on top. This is 7 million cubic miles (30 million cubic km) of ice.This huge weight of ice forces the ice outwards radially all round the coast in the form of ice shelves that float out on the surface of the ocean. Some of these shelves rest on the sea bed. The ocean is warming and the warmer water melts the ice underneath the shelves, so the shelves become thinner and break off to form icebergs.
What is a good strategy for removing snow followed by freezing rain?
If you know that's how it will happen, then leave it until it's over. It's much easier to shovel snow with a layer of ice on top then to shovel snow and then get left with a sheet of ice on the pavement.
How is snow transformed into glacial ice?
Snow is transformed into glacial ice by time and pressure. If the glacier and the snow on top never melts, it continually becomes more compact.
What is it called when running water on top of ice?
snow silly
Antarctica covers which of the Earth's poles?
Alpine glaciers and their movement is common in mountainous areas. Antarctica, however, is covered with an ice sheet, and its glaciers often flow into the sea without the alpine glacier brown or grey colour associated with carving valleys or bowls common in other mountainous areas on earth. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered with this ice sheet, so most glaciers flow on top of more stable ice.
What starts with N and is in Antarctica?
You may be thinking of nunatak -- a mountain top that pokes out of the ice sheet.
