Chinooks weather and effect on Ooths.

In Western North America, East of the Rocky Mountain chain, there is a weather phenomenon known as a "Chinook", in which a fluke of weather causes mid-winter warm spells, which actually thaw the snow. They last a few days, and then pass, allowing winter to re-freeze everything.

It is a by-product of the Rocky Mountain range, and warm winds passing above them from the West Coast.

Could such weather cause an Ooth to hatch prematurely, resulting in frozen nymphs days later?

hello,

Depending on how long these warm spells are, yes it could cause that. But it really depends on how long these spells last.....

Thanks

Very unlikely. It warms up here sometimes as much as 60 degrees during the winter for spells. They still hatch at the usual time.
