I'm sure that none of us mind giving you some of our cold air. Now, can we get some of your warm air in exchange or do I have to wait until the next Chinook to get some? (I never heard of a "Tennessee Clipper" so...hrm...)

Unfortunately, we don't have much warm air in Tennessee right now. I think the temperature is about freezing out there, at 9:30 pm, but they are talking about 18 degrees F tomorrow morning. And it ain't even winter yet!

Chinook winds? I believe that is Ojibway for "snow eater." I think of them as occurring mostly in the spring. If I remember my science text correctly, they are the result of compressional heating as the cool air flows down the mountain, on the lee side.
