Granted, snow is usually seasonal whilst sand often occupies a bit more permanent, and thus perhaps more permeating, presence.

As different as the context - in regards to their climate, nature vernacular and culture is - it's inviting to look for and speculate about the similarities between a country in northern Europe and a nation in the Gulf...
