In the Arctic, snowfall during winter varies significantly by region, but it is generally quite low compared to temperate areas. Most Arctic regions receive around 10 to 25 centimeters (4 to 10 inches) of snow annually, with some areas experiencing even less. The snow that does fall tends to remain on the ground for long periods due to the cold temperatures, contributing to the accumulation of ice and permafrost. Overall, while winter snow is present, it is not as abundant as one might expect in colder climates.
