Not sure I would want to venture there in the winter....
The only times you really don't want to be there are:
Easter Jeep Safari - Easter Week
Cruise Moab - Spring
Land Rover National Rally - Usually every 2-3 years in the early fall
I've been in town during all three events at one time or another and the desert is decidedly much nicer when they are not in town. While I do think they have their place, it's just a personal preference to avoid Moab during those events.
This was an unusual storm that blew through, like most weather the past year. The Colorado Plateau is strikingly beautiful during the winter months adding a different color to the already sharp contrasts of the red rocks and cobalt sky. The sun low in the sky also means better light for longer times. The most redeeming quality is the lack of people, not that I don't like people, I just like them a whole lot more when they are not around.
