People seem to have the misconception that it doesn't snow in deserts.
The definition of "desert" is a place that doesn't get much
precipitation or loses more water by evaporation that falls from the
sky. Many deserts are also pretty damn cold. Like the Artic and
Antartica...
Sorry to be pedantic, it should be the Arctic and Antarctica....
Incidentally, whenever you see shots of Polar explorers struggling
against a raging blizzard in the Antarctic, it is almost certainly NOT
precipitation, but is the existing snow on the ground being whipped up
by some of the strongest winds on the planet and blown horizontally.
