weather fronts

Cold Front-when cold air comes into contact with warm air. it causes a storm to occur
Warm Front- when fast moving warm air, comes into contact with slow moving cold air. it pushes the cold air forward which causes faster moving cold air ad soon a cloud is formed
Stationary Front- when cold air and warm air meet each other and there going the exact same speed and have no power over the other, it causes a stationary front
Occluded Front-when cold air meets another cold air thing the cold air with more speed pushes the other cold air with less speed and then a cloud forms
Which type of front occurred this week to bring the cold weather and then snow? cold front
