As is true everywhere on earth, this is the definition of a blizzard, from Wikipedia:

"To be a blizzard, a snow storm must have sustained winds or frequent gusts that are greater than or equal to 56 km/h (35 mph) with blowing or drifting snow which reduces visibility to 400 m or 0.25 mi or less and must last for a prolonged period of time-typically three hours or more."

In Antarctica the wind is constant, and the 'snow' may be simply blowing ice crystals, since the humidity of the Antarctic continent is about five percent.
