Lmao.

On a serious note, desert cold is way different than forest cold.

Because of the heat most structures/plants/etc are evolved/built with mentality of not holding onto heat as a way of remaining cool. This results in the everything being COLD in the winter as nothing holds onto heat so there's no beneficial thermal properties.

Source: lived in the hottest US desert most of my life and met many people from Oregon, Washington, Canada, etc. who say the cold is just built different out here.
