Prevailing winds spilling into McMurdo Sound shoot between mountain passes and other land formations, stirring up blizzards known locally as ""Herbies"". Such blizzards can occur any time of year. Residents of McMurdo Station and Scott Base have dubbed the nearby White Island and Black Island as Herbie Alley due to winds that funnel blizzards between the islands (Field Manual for the U.S. Antarctic Program). Overall the continent's extreme cold air scarcely holds enough moisture for snowfall. Consequently, Antarctica's blizzards are at times as"
