Our email bag officer is back from Mexico, so she catches up on the incoming messages from our listeners.

From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: The topic for this week is a foehn wind. Heat bursts were a favorite of JB Elliott, and these winds are often responsible for melting a bunch of snow.
