There is no snow to speak of in Antarctica: there's not enough humidity to produce snow. Blizzards are made up of blowing ice crystals.

How could icecaps form in Antarctica if it is a desert?
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation on average per year. Antarctica receives very little snow but the snow it does receive never melts. It continues to pile up and compress into ice. Over millions of year the depth of the accumulated ice is quite deep.

How deep is the snow in antarctica?
Very little snow falls in Antarctica, averaging only about 166 mm (6.5 inches) per year. The high interior gets even less, but as this snow never melts, it has been building up over 1.5 million years. The weight of the snow turns it into the ice cap that covers Antarctica. This ice cap is 2000 metres (2 kilometres or 7000 feet) thick on average, and the deepest is 5 kilometres (3 miles).
