Chinook
Chinook is a warm wind that occurs on the downward slope of a mountain.
In Canada, the winds originate from the Pacific Coast. Cool as they blow up the Canadian Rockies, they warm significantly as they drop down the eastern slopes, freeing Calgarians for a few blissful moments from winter’s icy grasp.
