I've often wondered - those temperatures measured in Antarctica are below the sublimation point for carbon dioxide, so would dry ice snow have precipitated out of the atmosphere there?

Found this regarding that: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/06/13/results-lab-experiment-regarding-co2-snow-in-antarctica-at-113%C2%B0f-80-5%C2%B0c-not-possible/ http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/06/13/results-lab-experiment...

  So the answer is no, because the partial pressure of CO2 is so low.
