ELI5: Why is there WAY more snow in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere?

Even at the bottom of South America there is little to no snow during winter (excluding on mountains) even though it's not far above Antarctica. Why is that ?

Because it's surrounded by ocean, so has a maritime climate - which doesn't get all that cold.

The northern hemisphere has large land masses, which lead to continental climates, which can get very much colder because they don't have the thermal damping of the oceans.
