Generally very little because it is so cold and dry. Most of Antarctica is far from any water as a source of moisture. Additionally, the poles tend to be far from the Polar Front, which is really the only thing to get air rising in these regions aside from orography. Therefore, it's hard to get any precipitation at all. Finally, because cold air can hold so little moisture, there isn't much moisture to squeeze out in the form of snow. This isn't quite true on the Antarctic Peninsula however, which juts out into lower latitudes and can be quite stormy (and not so cold).
Antarctica receives little rainfall in 1 year. About 35-50 centimeters of water is received in Antarctica. It may sound strange, but Antarctica is also considered a desert, a landscape/ region that receives little or no precipitation.
Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland.
The average snowfall over the whole continent is around 166 mm (6.5 inches) per year. The high interior gets very little snowfall (50 mm or 2 inches), but parts of the Antarctic Peninsula receive more than 600 mm (2 feet).
The average annual snowfall at the South Pole is around 20 to 40 inches.

The largest amount of snow recorded in Ames, Iowa was 3.4 inches.

The average annual snowfall for Pasco, Washington is around 3 to 4 inches. However, snowfall amount can vary from year to year.

Between 80-90"
NO. and its a big no as you can see. Antarctica has the least amount of animals by quite a bit.
18 inches in 1924
The largest desert is technically Antarctica. The largest hot desert is the Sahara in northern Africa. What defines a desert is the amount of annual rainfall, of which Antarctica has very little.

Antarctica is the continent that has the lowest amount of precipitation within a year. The second lowest amount of precipitation annually is recorded by South America who averages .03 of an inch of rain.
