Answer
Hello Jen,

How would you explain a cold front and a warm front to younger kids? Cold Front brings stormy weather with cold air as it passes.  Warm Front may bring a long gentle rain with warm air as it passes.

What do you have to say to kids who want to become meteorologists? Become interested in Math and science because that is what it takes.

What schooling is required to be a meteorologist? Math and Science are the subjects  I like Penn State University.

What inspired you to become a meteorologist?
When I become one it would have to be the snow then from there it was like everything inspired me.

Thanks,
Mike
