No. There is not enough moisture to produce anything but light snow on the Antarctic continent.

20 million years ago was the last time it rained
(I hope the answer is useful)

What causes hailstones to fall from the sky?
Hailstones form inside thunderstorm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze onto ice nuclei. As the hailstones grow, they eventually become too heavy for the updrafts in the storm to support, causing them to fall to the ground.
Where did the heaviest hailstones on record fall and how heavy were they?
the heaviest hailstone on record fall was.... 1130
The place where the biggest hailstones fall?
The Midwest of the United States
Why do hailstones fall from the sky?
because they are frozen rain drops
Do hailstones kill people like lightning does?
Hailstones kill people by fall in far from the sky and falling faster till it will do damage to the cerebrum.
Do you know about Hailstones?
Yes, hailstones are balls of ice that form in thunderstorm clouds and fall to the ground when they become too heavy. They can vary in size from tiny pellets to large chunks, and their formation is a result of strong updrafts in the storm.
What season is it in Antarctica when it is fall in Europe?
It is spring in Antarctica when it is fall in Europe.
Are hailstones dangerous?
It depends on how much they weigh. Some have caused a lot of damage, but it's usually to cars and buildings. hailstones are little blocks of ice which fall from the sky.technically hailstones are just frozen rain drops.I wouldn't think hailstones are dangerous as they melt the minute they touch the floor but i guess they could be dangerous if they had a sharp edge.
How do hailstones remain suspended in a cloud?
Hailstones remain suspended in a cloud due to the strong updrafts present within the cloud. As the hailstones are being formed, they are continuously lifted higher into the colder regions of the cloud by these updrafts. This cycle repeats until the hailstones become too heavy and fall to the ground as precipitation.
What are the seasons in Antarctica?
Seasons in Antarctica are Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Where do hailstones come from?
Hailstones are formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops up into the colder regions of the atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets. These ice pellets then fall back to the ground as hailstones. The size of hailstones can vary depending on the strength of the updrafts in the storm.
How are hailstones made?
Hailstones are formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry water droplets into freezing upper atmospheric levels, causing the droplets to freeze into ice pellets. As the hailstones fall through the storm clouds, they can accumulate more layers of ice as they are repeatedly carried back up by the updrafts. The hailstones eventually fall to the ground when they become too heavy for the updrafts to support.
