The ice pack has been getting thicker but that has slowed down or stopped. Antartica is not getting colder, and large pieces of ice are breaking away indicating that it is warming. The snow pack depends on precipitation, not the temperature, and itself could be a sign of warming.
Some regions of the earth will actually get colder due to global warming (at least for a while), as the cold water from melting ice is carried by ocean currents.

the regular 12 degree arch of the earth is now 17 degrees the north pole pointed toward the sun, which is why there are now so many problems with weather.

Actually Antarctica is warming at the fastest rate.
There is a hole in the greenhouse right above Antarctica.
Antarctica is still the coldest place on earth!
With a low of -128.6 at Vostok Station Antarctica.
