• A Pneumonia Front is a meteorological event characterized by a drastic change in temperatures and a strong wind shift.
  These fronts are defined as lake modified synoptic scale cold fronts that result in one-hour temperature drops of 16 degrees F or greater.
  
  ...you have the full description of what it is.
  It%26#039;s basically a cold front that comes in off of a lake or a water substance that changes the temperature by at least 16 or so degrees.....in otherwise, it gets frickin cold. Kinda like a cold wind blowing through a tundra, but coming off a lake or water front. ...you had it in your description, but I%26#039;m sure you just needed it to be broken down for ya huh? I hope you got it now, if not then let me know. 0% 0 Votes
