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.
Almost none high on the ice sheet, to probably 150"+ on the southeastern edge of the ice sheet. Measurements in that area aren't great, and we still rely mostly on remote sensing tools.
All of it except parts of the coast are situated under a thick ice sheet, and of course during the winter those coastal areas are typically covered by snow as well.
Most of Greenland is covered by a continental glacier, so it is permanently under ice. The remainder of Greenland is only snow-covered during parts of the year.
No. There is one little confusing thing though. Iceland is green and warm, while Greenland is covered in snow and ice.

Greenland is an island and Antarctica is a continent, both covered with ice sheets.
Not year round but for the better part of the year.

Greenland is known for its vast ice sheet covering about 80% of its land area, with glaciers, fjords, and coastal cliffs. The ice sheet has a rugged terrain of mountains and valleys, with coastal regions that are more habitable and support vegetation. Greenland's landscape is characterized by its stunning natural beauty and unique blend of ice and land formations.
The Greenland ice sheet covers about 80 percent of Greenland! It's the second-biggest ice sheet in the world, after Antarctica

Greenland is covered mostly by ice, specifically the Greenland Ice Sheet, which is the second largest ice sheet in the world. Approximately 80% of the island's surface is covered by ice.
nothing, its just a island 15 times bigger than the uk that is covered with snow so you can just have snowball fights
Refrigiration. Like Greenland, greenhouses are not actually green but rather covered in snow whereas Iceland is ironically totally green.
Greenland is the biggest Island of the world. It covers an area of 2.166.086 km2. Up to 85 % is covered in ice. It is an autonomous part of the Danish kingdom.
Greenland is mostly covered by an ice sheet.
Yes It does
The Greenland ice sheet covers 80 percent of the total area of land in Greenland. It is the largest island in the world.
