/Almost completely OFF TOPIC

Years ago we lived in Buffalo NY and listened to Canadian Radio.
They had a contest to create a new holiday for Canada.

The idea was to establish a holiday in late January to relieve the
boredom and hardships of Canada's cold winter days.
I don't know if the holiday was ever actually established.
But the name that I liked best was: "Chinook Day"

It seemed completely appropriate because it generates images of good things to come.

1 (also chinook wind) a warm dry wind that blows down the east side of the Rocky Mountains
at the end of winter and often melts all the snow on the ground.

2 (also chinook salmon) a large North Pacific salmon that returns
from the ocean in Spring to bred in fresh water rivers and streams.
