"Good Morning America" is here to help you learn some fun facts about the weather.

Weather Trivia Fact No. 1: Every Snow Flake Is DifferentYes, it is true, every snow flake is different. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac this is because every snow crystal consists of a quintillion water molecules. Since snowflakes have six sides, the Almanac says the number of different ways the water molecules could be arranged within the snowflake is "astronomical" and therefore, according to the Almanac, the odds are no two snowflakes could ever be alike.

Weather Trivia Fact No. 2: Polar OppositesThe South Pole is actually colder than the North Pole, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. A large mass of ice surrounds the South Pole while the North Pole is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. The ocean acts as "an effective heat reservoir," according to the Almanac, raising the temperature.

Weather Trivia Fact No. 3: Boy, It's Windy Up Here!The highest wind speed recorded was 231 mph on April 12, 1934, according to the Southeast Regional Climate Center. It was recorded on the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
