Default What does a front look like?

I know the diagrams of fronts in the books, showing the sloping boundary

pass over my garden (a) as seen from the ground, and (b) on the data
from the AWS?

Or are they too varied to be able to see one for certain?

Wind should veer (eg southwest to west) on the passage of the front.
Otherwise the change can be highly variable as regards temperature
change, cloud type and amount, and precipitation.
