The only desert with snow in the summer is Antarctica.
In deserts, the snow melts at summer time, however in Antarctica, the snow never melts. (From Starprof): No, that isn't exactly true. I observed melting snow at McMurdo Station in late summer. The air temperature was about 40 F. Also, some snow disappears due to sublimation. If the term desert means a place of very little precipitation, then Antarctica qualifies as a desert.
The Gobi Desert receives very little snow each year, averaging around 7 inches (18 cm) annually. Snowfall is sporadic due to the desert's arid and cold climate, with most of the precipitation falling as rain during the summer months.
The Mojave rarely receives any snow and when it does it is only a trace.
A temperate desert may be as hot as a hot desert in the summer but has a much colder winter.
