Katabatic!

Yes! That was it!

Never heard of such a term...but the area from Campo to Cibbetts is
Katabatic!

(I think it's an old Indian word meaning "It's cold enough to freeze
your loin-cloth-snake off")

Katabatic?

Somebody once described the condition something like, "inversion
zone"??? "conversion zone"???
Something about the way the topography creates a "cold sink", trapping
colder air while warmer air is close and all around...
