In summer, we may experience passage of a cold front and yet the air ahead of the
front has about the same temperature as the air behind the front. In what sense is this
a "cold" front?
Give this one a try later!
Air masses on either side of the front contrast in humidity; that is, the air
mass behind the “cold” front is drier (and hence, denser) than the air mass
ahead of the front.
