Chinook!

A warm wind blew in yesterday and this morning the temperature is already up to 4C/39F. The roads are all slushy and the air smells like spring. I can’t wait to go out running tonight!

    Heh, did you know Chinook is defined as “A type of foehn wind. Refers to the warm downslope wind in the Rocky Mountains that may occur after an intense cold spell when the temperature could rise by 20 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of minutes. Also known as the Snow Eater.” I love Chinooks! See ya tonight. 🙂

    I’m so jealous of your “warm” weather. It’s 13F here, today. BRRRR!

    Oh! I thought you went fishing. 😉

    PS
    Hope you’re sending that warm weather this way when you’re done.

    Well you deserve a blast of warm air but evidently you sent your cold air down this way – we had a high of 4F/-16C today!
