In tundra you can feel the cold because the climate there is cold, polar and dry. Below surface the soil is always frozen!
C. treeless plain where soil below the surface layer is frozen all year long
Permafrost
Trees usually cannot survive in the cold tundra as the ground is frozen solid a few inches below the surface and stays frozen even in summer. Roots cannot penetrate this frozen soil. In the desert, however, trees do not have that problem and area able to send their roots deep into the soil to find water.
The tundra is characterized by having permafrost - the ground is frozen a few inches below the soil surface. Tree roots cannot penetrate this, and so they cannot grow there.
