Föhn?

The last few days in Basel have been absolutely beautiful-- sunny and 70! It feels more like early September than late October. Kirk says it has something to do with the Föhn. HUH? He learned about the Föhn from his Swiss and German colleagues. Something about warm air (and winds) coming down from the mountains. He said it's similar to the Santa Anas, but considering I never lived in California I don't know anything about that either. Sounds a little suspect to me, but whatever it is, Föhn or no Föhn, I love it!
