Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth and its climate is very complex. Clouds and temperature don't effect or change the fact that the average temperature inland is -76 that is year round. It is always covered in clouds too, maybe why it stays cold year round. Temperatures going up will not change very much because of this extreme cold.
Far inland isn't where the worry about melt is occurring, yet. It's near the shore that's the problem. As the temperatures get warmer, the area that melts each summer will creep further and further inland.

Those are not far inland temperatures; -76 C--90 C, those are 5 -10 miles inland just the coastline and the peninsula are the only parts to heat up to 15 C . It freezes solid every winter with extream cold no way would a heating scenerio take hold, it is different then the N pole.

It does not matter. The overall effect is melt, because near the coastline the temperatures are warmer than they were previously. The farthest that above-freezing temperatures reach is slowly creeping inland.

No, it freezes solid every year and resets the line back to the coastline. The warmest place in Antarctica is on the Peninsula and there is not a warming scenario which you describe there. It always starts from frozen solid at the start of summer there is no creeping scenario of warming it is always roughly the same. -129 F record temperature -110 F common

That doesn't mean it freezes to the same thickness as before. As I already linked, the total mass of Antarctica has been measured to be declining. And you have yet to provide any evidence of your assertions, as I have mine.
