I don't remember the name, but it's in the middle of Antarctica.

At least nine people are dead after 14 years worth of rain caused severe flooding in what is known for being the driest location in the world.*

*Non polar

Right area, but not really in the middle of Antatctica

[Rollo]

My guess was Death Valley.

Death Valley even has the nicely named place of Badwater Basin. It makes me wonder what's there if they want to scare everyone.
This sounds like a job for some meddling kids in a hideously painted van.

It's been a while since I read about it. Maybe not the middle, but on a plateau perhaps? It doesn't snow at all there though it's as frigid as any other place on the continent.

Close enough Starter. It is actually Ross island (Scott Base) relative humidity is way lower than the Gobi desert

Being I couldn't for the life of me remember any of the names had I seen them, I'm going to kill this question quickly by saying Russia is the coldest inhabited place on earth. My reasoning being it's most likely some little tiny village or something in Russia, but it would still be Russia, so I'm right!

You need to do a little better than that. While it's true the answer is a place in Russia, there are lots of other cold places like Alaska, Finland, Greenland, etc. At least give me an area of Russia.
