How many months of the year is the Arctic covered in snow?
Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.

Why is most of Greenland covered with snow throughout the year?
Greenland is covered with snow throughout the year because of its high latitude and Arctic climate. The temperatures in Greenland remain low enough to sustain snow cover even during the summer months, due to its location close to the North Pole. Snow accumulation is also helped by the fact that most of the island is elevated, leading to colder temperatures and increased precipitation.
