The ratio of snow to water can vary a great deal depending on the vertical profiles of temperature and moisture, and how they change during a storm. Typically 1 inch of rain is equal to 1 foot of snow, a 12-1 ratio. Depending on the temperature and moisture profiles of the snow growth region of the atmosphere and the origin area of the storm system, that ratio can go higher, say 20-1, which would be 20 inches, or lower, say 6-1 or so. 12-1 is most forecasters starting point, and if you go to your local NWS page and read the area forecast discussion, they usually tell what ratio they believe a system will have as it moves through your area.

The average year in El Paso gets 3 snowfalls. However, this is just based on data from the airport- elevation varies greatly within the city, but the airport is practically at the top, almost 4,000 feet. The bottom of the city and the valley can be lower than 3,000 feet. Also, the median is 0, which means that most years don't get any trace at all. And that is for the airport, which is the probably the coldest place in the city in the winter. So a simple answer is "no".

It depends what you mean. You could go to many places with high elevations and find glaciers, and often on these glaciers it is possible to see some snow falling during the summer. The only places where you could see snow falling close to sea level would be in the high Arctic, but even that is quite uncommon.

In other words, there is no city where you could expect to find winter weather in the summer.

As the temperature lowers the molecules slow down and form into a crystal. The total volume of actual h2o is smaller. The reason the ice cube is larger than its relative size in liquid form is due to gaps the crystal structure creates. The higher density and crystal structure makes solids of any molecule much harder relative to its liquid counterpart. This goes for every liquid vs. solid.

Ice cap is made of ice.

Tundra is actually soil land that's just covered in snow and ice for most of the year. During the short summer months the snow kinda melts exposing grass.

No, in fact 2012 continued the warming trend of the previous years. It was "the warmest year on record" for the lower 48 states of the US, and the eighth warmest year world-wide.

Temperature decreases as you get higher. If you get high enough, the average temperature is below 0°C most of the year, and the few days in summer which are above 0°C are not enough to melt all the snow which fell during the long winter.
The snow stays there permanently until there is enough to slowly slide down the mountain under its own weight. This is called a glacier.

Temperature also decreases as you get nearer the poles. The height above which glaciers form is highest at the equator, and decreases as you get to the poles. For example, Mount Kilimanjaro is on the equator and has a glacier on its 5895 metre summit. In the Alps, Glaciers start at about 3000m. In the Antarctic, glaciers go down to sea level.
