The colder the temperature, the dryer the air. The dryer the air, the less snow. Most of the north pole is a very thin sheet of ice. Areas that do not receive air currents carrying moisture (humidity) do not have snow. if you go to the north pole, it is considered an artic desert because the percepitation is so low.
