Answer to Question 1

Warm fronts typically bring precipitation, occasionally thunderstorms, and move into a region slowly. Cold fronts move into a region quickly, bringing towering clouds and violent weather with them. The intensity of precipitation is greater from a cold front than a warm frontthe temperature is cooler and the winds are stronger.

Answer to Question 2

Continental polar (cP) air masses are associated with lake-effect snow. As the cold, dry air passes over the great lakes, it picks up heat and moisture, then, as the air mass crosses land again, it loses the moisture as snowstorm precipitation due to air-mass instability.
