Frontal precipitation that causes precipitation in the form of snow fall.
Convectional type of precipitation.
Both 1 and 2.
Explanation:
No cyclonic depression exists because of very low temperature and also weak pressuregradient.Convectional precipitation to occur, the air on the land surface should be heated to largerextent so that it becomes lighter thus rises and condenses to give precipitation. But very lowtemperature in the higher latitudes causes no convectional precipitation.
