Chinook winds are called 'snow eater' due to their extremely warm and dry nature.

Explanation:

  • Chin-ook winds are experienced in the U.S. and Canada on the eastern slo-pes of the Roc-ky Mountains in winter. They are so dry that they are called "snow eater."
  • The average temperature of these winds is 60° Fahrenheit. The arrival of this wind causes a sudden rise in the temperature and sometimes the temperature rises up to 37° Fahrenheit in minutes.
