 They look like that. Tons of warm air come down from the Rockies and melt most of the snow every couple of weeks. Mostly through Calgary but it does travel north some of the time. Its usually a line of cloud meeting blue sky as far as you can see.--- C was right. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes.
I hated them. Got a pressure headache every time they rolled through (and when I was growing up, all the kids in school would go absolutely fucking nuts on days where Chinooks were happening). --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

No because air is invisible even when it moves. And also because I've been west of Ontario all of once and that was to the Kootenays, which don't get much by way of chinooks and also I went in late April when it was just plain old spring.
