I'm going to guess it has to do with how quickly the temperature change occurs, or other environmental factors prior to the freeze. It seems to be a somewhat rare occurrence, even in places where it gets very cold

    In Alberta a chinook can make the temp go from -20 to 20 in a matter of hours, the same backwards.

    Huh TIL

    The maximum daily temperature anomaly associated with the wind ranges from +13ยฐC in the northwest to +25ยฐC in the southeast. The temperature rise at the onset of the event is abrupt and steep; an increase of 27ยฐC in 2 minutes has been observed.

    They also create clippers on their way to the states, hence the term Alberta Clipper.

    The chinook, which in part originates the Alberta clipper, usually brings relatively warm weather (often approaching 10ย ยฐC (50ย ยฐF) in the depths of winter) to southern Alberta itself, and the term is therefore not used in Alberta.

    We uhhโ€ฆ. Just had a chinook last week, sorry.

    Does wind chill make water freeze faster?
