I live in what my science teacher calls "a low alpine desert". Which basically means that winter is very cold and lasts eternity, spring is 1 month (seriously, I'm not exaggerating about this one!) and that it doesn't rain much, and if we didn't have sprinkler systems our yards would look like something you find in the sahara (maybe exaggerating a tiny bit about this one, but really, one of our neighbors moved and in two weeks their beautiful yard was nothing but dry yellow grass and weeds!)
