Maybe at the south pole. There’s little to no snow around where I was in northern Greenland. It gets above freezing up there during the summer and it almost never snows, so what accumulation you do get is actually from snow being blown off the ice cap rather than down from the sky. So it takes a while to build back up in the winter.
I suspect the sunshine bouncing off all the snow helps too
I got cooked while snow skiing once that way
To distinguish between frozen and unfrozen water
