Stupid question - sorry. How is the front speed calculated please ?

Not so much calculated as observed from its passage through places
say 100 miles apart in the direction of travel. Not all cold fronts
have a well-defined time of passage, unfortunately.

Thanks Tudor, it's old fashioned observation and not some nifty maths.
