The albedo of the ice and snow, combined with the sheer mass of it all means that very little would melt in even a 24 day, let alone the few hours (at most) of sun the North Pole would receive on the 24th. Just the same, areas far south would see the snow of a single day's worth of storming gone in a couple of days, if that.
