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 10 °C (50 °F) in the depths of winter) to southern Alberta itself, and the term is therefore not used in Alberta.

We uhh…. Just had a chinook last week, sorry.

I feel so uneducated on weather lol. I had no idea what a Chinook or Clipper were before now.

Chinook is a helicopter and a Clipper is a basketball player.
