More likely that Calypso's axis of rotation is different to that of Earth's. Its just that the maps we use are incorrect. Just like we have true north and magnetic north on Earth maps. So what you see as West on the map is in fact magnetic North and Calypso's axis of rotation is similar to Uranus. This would allow for snow to the west, because this part of Calypso would never see the sun. It would also allow for the lack of night/day cycles we get on Calypso.
AG already touched on this earlier in this thread too. Its something i would really like
MA to work on to make the planet more realisitic.

Either that or we gots us an East Pole...
...or somethin'
