Generally, across the Antarctic continent, the wind is constant. Blizzards occur frequently, depending on where you are on the continent. One could assume that there may be a blizzard every day somewhere in Antarctica, especially during the Fall, Winter and Spring months. Blizzards also occur during the Summer there.
