I was watching a movie and the characters started talking about the desert. They said that deserts were dry, hot and had a lot of sand. Well, I am here to tell you that dry is the only thing deserts have in common. This desert in Central Utah was cold and rocky. There is sand around, but none you can see in this photo. The wind was blowing and the sky was covered with clouds. We had just come through a trip over the mountains with snow, sleet, hail and rain all within a few hours. Here the ground was dry and dusty. When I think of a desert, this is what I think of.
Some of our desert country is not sandy either, and in our winter can be very cold (well relatively to our summers, but not yours).
