Can you describe the characteristics of a cP?
A cP is a continental polar so it is cold and dry.

What type of front is caused when a warm air mass collides with slow moving airmass to at first causes thunderstorms and fog, but eventually leads to clear weather?
What is a warm front.
300
Which takes longer to change weather or climate?
What is climate.
400
What is the formula for density?

If you wanted to go skiing when there is lots of snow in New York, what type of air mass would you like to pass over New York?
A maritime polar, because it is cold and moist to give you snow.
