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.
