Works for Germany too, since a Föhn is either a kind of warm wind, or a hair dryer.

The hairdryer is the Fön without h.

Since the spelling reform of 1996 both are spelled Föhn

Same in Switzerland, even in the French speaking part

Same for Dutch. It's the common name for a hair dryer.

You get it also under the Alps

"Fohn" is an English word directly derived from "foehn".

I am from none of those places, speak no relevant languages other than English, and I had no trouble with the phrase in question.

I appreciate your effort in trying to stick up for me, though (: Perhaps if you want to be more helpful for those people who do conform to your assumptions, you could share a definition, in addition to your criticism.

"Fohn, an Englosh derivate of 'foehn', means 'a warm, dry wind', and is known for being particularly effective at melting snow."

I am from a native English speaking country and I had never heard the word foehn or fohn in my life, so assumed it was a typo of foot.

Which coincidentally happens to have a similar contention as standing on fresh snow compacts it, but only from the comments did I guess it was supposed to be a melting analogy.

In German its Föhn which can be written as Foehn

I am from Canada and I have no idea what this means

"Chinook" is the term I've heard used for this.

In southern California they call them Santa Ana winds.

I had to look it up. I like the word.

Norway here, but I didn’t get it. First guess was that foehn meant foot/feet, but I was way off according to the other comments
