Coeur dâAlene sits on a small spit at the north end of a large lake of the same name. The setting is decidedly attractive, with lake views on three sides of downtown and mountains on all sides looking south. The mountains are densely forested with fir trees, while trees in the immediate area of the town are sparse.
Jet streams are like rivers of wind high above in the atmosphere. These slim strips of strong winds have a huge influence on climate, as they can push air masses around and affect weather patterns.
When we talk of Jet streams, what we usually talk of is the Sub-tropical jet. This stream occurs throughout the year. Happens because of the pressure variation between Hadley and Ferrel cells. The direction is westerly. There are a number of other jet streams, but they are mostly seasonal.
