Explanation:

The chinook, a native word meaning "snow eater," belongs to a family of winds experienced in many parts of the world where long mountain chains lie more or less at right angles to the prevailing wind. It is a warm and dry westerly wind that blows down the Rocky Mountains into the mountains' eastern slopes and the western prairies. The Chinook wind provides a welcome respite from the long winter chill.
