Antarctica gets very little snow which makes me wonder what CNN's
definition of blizzard would be.

Have a look at any of the cameras on the ice during a storm.
Most of the snow comes in horizontally


That's windblown ice. Antarctica's airmass is very dry, very little
snowfall. Most of the place has had about 20 centimeters of snow over the
past 50 years.


True on average of course but the coastal regions get around 40cm
while the plateau gets 5cm or so.
