Ah, right.. That is why deserts are so "wet". Its a bit more fracking 
complicated than that. And, no, cooler temperatures do not "necessarily" 
mean drier weather. The reason its dry here is "due to" the heat. The 
lake isn't large enough for the huge desert around it to be positively 
effected with rain, so the problem is that the rain either hardly ever 
falls, and/or evaporates again before it hits. Most of the rain falls 
farther inland, because it usually never gets "cold enough" for it to 
condense and fall to the ground, until it gets farther north, and out of 
the desert areas (or it runs into mountains, which.. tend to be high, so 
kind of "collect" anything that hits them before it can evaporate again...)
