Hi to you as well bower

Weather is a fascinating subject.

At the moment we are in the middle of the spring windy season which is a foehn wind off the Southern Alps much like the Chinook of Canada but the temperature is not as extreme, the cloud formations are the same. Would love to visit Lethbridge and see the Chinook, it would feel like been home. The wind is call 'The norwesta' here, some springs it can blow for weeks on end and being a very low humidity wind it dry things out fast, can be as low 10%-20%. Can get very strong too, not many places in the world where it could be blowing at 140kmph, lovely and warm and not a cloud in the sky.
