We got the DRASH about the time that those pictures were taken, after temps were already rising into the 100s during the day. That's the Army supply system. "We have it, but you can't have it until it's too late. Go away."

You were there then? A couple freinds sent me pictures when it snowed. I even had some pictures on my old comp. They titled them, "Hell Just Froze Over."
As for deserts being cold, lol. Yeah, most people only figure that they are just hot and forget that they also freeze at night and in winter many a time.
As for carpenters, lucky you for having the talent and of course some of the materials to be creative with. God love the infantryman, we are so creative with so little.
