In Understanding Austria we actually discussed why today was so sunny and why the mountains were glowing. Our teacher used that exact term almost exactly how I described it. It is the actual term the book uses, believe it or not. It is called Foehn, there is no English translation, because it doesn't really happen in America. It is a fall wind that brings dry warm air across the Alps from southern Europe. It is suppose to have an actual physical affect on people and doctors refuse to perform surgery on these days!
