A snowfall depends upon two things, their being moisture in the air, and the arrival of a cold weather front.
At the poles, there is very little moisture in the air, so polar snowfalls are light. In fact Antarctica is considered a desert in terms of precipitation.
At the equator; and at low altitudes; there may be lots of water in the air, but the arrival of a cold front would be unusual.
So it is in the temperate regions, perhaps slightly closer to the polar ones, that you would expect the heaviest snowfalls. And on land of course.
