Halloween 😎

We have everything but the mountain view. And still farms expand and population drops.

You aren't doing a very good job of selling the weather you get in your little corner of the world. Perhaps that is the problem.
You may be a good lamb salesman, but you're a really crappy ambassador for the weather in your area.
Chinooks are probably a big part of the draw from here south.

I get headaches before every Chinook all winter. Never in the summer of course.
But I will still choose that over never getting above zero for 4 or 5 months straight. We rarely go more than a week.

We never feel the effects of chinooks but I am sure they would be a nice diversion from endless -30 that we seem to get trapped in. Likely with the wind they come in with they don’t feel overly warm.

Rare to see a chinook here, but it does happen from time to time. More likely to get an Alberta Clipper. They often bring warmer temps but the accompanying blizzard is not usually welcome. Even rarer than a chinook is any kids at Halloween out on the farm. Still chuckle when I think of Leonardo dicaprio seeing his first chinook and declaring it to be proof of global warming.

Yes 6-8 weeks of -30-40 deep in the swamp wears a man down

You're not an hour away from Calgary or Edmonton.
