Consider the painting called “In the High Island Oil Field, February, After the Passage of a cold front,” from 1990.
The cold front has set in, and everyone seems to have a lot of opinions this week.
On the first night, following the passage of a cold front, migration at Ottumwa was comparatively low (6,900 birds in five hours).
In sunshine nothing disturbed your peace while you contemplated its dry, cold front.
After breakfast grandmother and Jake and I bundled ourselves up and climbed into the cold front wagon-seat.

cold front The forward edge of an advancing mass of cold air that pushes under a mass of warm air. Cold fronts often cause precipitation; water vapor in the rising warm air condenses and forms clouds, often resulting in heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail, or snow. Winter cold fronts can cause temperatures to drop significantly. Summer cold fronts reduce humidity as drier, cooler air displaces the humid, warmer air. On a weather map, a cold front is depicted as a blue line with triangles that point in the direction in which the cold air is moving. Compare occluded front, warm front. See illustration at front. |
