Greenland is not near the Equator. The warmest countries are on or near the Equator. Because of the location, Greenland is very cold up far in the North. Everything far South or North of the Equator is usually cold. Ex. Antartica.
In my opinion, Greenland should be called Iceland and Iceland should be Greenland considering Iceland is warm and Greenland is cold:)

Which is correct covered by snow or covered with snow?
That's a really difficult a question. In British English either is equally correct though they can have subtle differenced in meaning which I am finding difficulty explaining. Of course you have the third variant which is "Covered 'in' snow".I'm sure that somebody else can describe it in technical terms. But my understanding as a natural English speaker is....Covered 'by' snow kind of infers that this action has recently occurred.e.g. The parked car was covered by snow.Covered 'with' snow kind of infers that the object has not recently been covered.e.g. The parked car was covered with snow.Covered 'in' snow is kind of descriptive.e.g. The parked car was covered in snow.You know what I don't think it matters, choose one and use it,

How much rain does Greenland get?

How many months of the year is the Arctic covered in snow?
Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.

What part of Greenland is covered in snow?
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.
