Then if my method wouldn't work, how would you accomplish a cold environment that doesn't see sunlight for most the seasons, which does have rain/snow fall during a single season. However, it is on land, not ice.

What area would it be located at?
What kind of pressure would be needed (cold/hot) and at what wind speeds?
What elevation?
Rising or Falling air and in what direction?
What sort of mountainous regions would be required?

Get what I'm asking?
