How much snow falls in the Artic everyday?

Answer 1

You are getting some misinformation here among the other answers.

The real truth is that weather patterns in the arctic are just as diverse as they are down in the temperate regions. Some regions are fairly dry, and do not see much snow; and some regions do get snow, lots of it. For instance, Iqaluit, the largest city in Nunavut, gets a fair amount of snow - so much there was a news story last year about a family who lost their house, because it was buried in snow.

This PDF document from NavCanada describes some of the varied weather types in the various regions of the Canadian arctic. It is very detailed, and should answer most of your questions about arctic weather patterns.

As to the idea proposed above that snow does not melt in the arctic and that's why it looks snowy, that is highly inaccurate. Arctic summers do not lack for warmth, and I can assure you the snow melts even in some of the most northerly places.

Here is what Baffin Island looks like in summer:

Answer 2

On an average day, no snow falls in the Arctic. The thing will the Arctic is that it is permenantly cold and the snow that does rarely fall stays and doesn't melt away.

If you see pictures or scenes in movies of wild looking snowstorms in the Arctic, most likely it is just wind blowing existing snow around.

Very, very little actually. The Arctic is the world's largest desert, which means it gets a miniscule ammount of precipitation. The snow there just never melts due to the cold temperatures...
