1) Not all scorpions live in the desert. For example, as someone living in the eastern half of Texas, I have to think about the striped bark scorpion.

2) Meanwhile, aside from things like amusement parks and Las Vegas, you only really see a sphinx statue in the desert. 1) That's terrible, but the Grimm is not called Stripedbark, it's called Deathstalker. And Deathstalker is not really a common name for scorpions in general, at most just a specific genus out of the 2K+ species on the planet.

2) Because everyone thinks of the egyptian Sphinx. But there's also the greek Sphinx, and last time I checked most of Ancient Greece wasn't desert. And if we can have a scorpion in a forest even if most people associate them with deserts, we can have a sphinx in a tundra.
