Honestly, we never even knew that airplanes had different color lights. But we get how having different colored lights would be helpful in figuring out which way the plane was facing.

How much snow needs to fall before your district cancels school for the day? Well, if you live in the south, any amount of snow would be shocking—so one snowflake and school is off for the day! Can you imagine snow in Florida or southern Texas?
