Best Answer

Primarily because of its continental location, far from a large body of water to provide moisture. Additionally, the closest ocean is the Arctic for much of this region, and the Arctic Ocean is frozen much of the year which removes it as a source of moisture. Therefore, the air masses that move through these regions have limited amounts of water to work with to produce clouds and precipitation.
