Every now and then, in the depths of winter, the Chinook will blow and devour the snow.

I grew up in Southern Alberta, where Chinooks were a welcome sight in winter. +40 degree Celsius temperature swings in a matter of hours! All the snow would melt and it would be spring-like in January. We would go out for slurpees at 7-11 to celebrate. |
