Stick, string, and shivering temps.
Re: Stick, string, and shivering temps.
haha! idk what you want to call it but that wind was freaky warm to have in the winter. It felt like the air that comes out of the dryer vent.
I want to stay warmer with less bulk too! I have never seen silk thermals,
the rain suit idea sounds good for cutting down the wind and wet in a stationary spot.

Chinook means "snow eater"

When I moved to MT and lived there, it was explained to me thus:Longtrad wrote: IDK what the exact technical definition is but basically a chinook is a really warm wind.
You go to sleep with 3' of snow piled up on the ground; You wake up with a fierce urge to go tinkle...while handling that situation, you're aware there is the sound of rushing water and you fear the pipes broke...
slippers on and rush around the house but no pipes are burst..you look outside and jerk open the door...water is running rampant in the streets and the snow is nearly gone and there is a steady wind...
They "claimed" that when the conditions are right, the wind sliding down off the Continental Divide compresses and in so doing, becomes warm. Never checked it out for scientific truth.
I only experience a few of those in the 6 yrs out there but one March, dead of winter, we went fly fishing in the Gallitin and reaped a great harvest as all the fish were moving.

I can't remember the particulars of the phenomenon, but it's derived from the Chinook tribe. I have a hard time believing that they were snow eatin folks exclusively, I would think they left the yeller snow alone.Ole Dave wrote:So...to fish for Chinook salmon you need to fish with "snow flies"???Mohawk wrote:Chinook means "snow eater"

That's the lemon flavored version. Too sour for some folk...Mohawk wrote: I can't remember the particulars of the phenomenon, but it's derived from the Chinook tribe. I have a hard time believing that they were snow eatin folks exclusively, I would think they left the yeller snow alone.
