Weird/Ambiguous Warnings

........ although half off if you can fly yourselves (please bring it back!)

I'd say the weather beacon on top of the Old John Hanock Building in Boston is pretty weird. You have to learn a mnemonic to use it.

Steady blue, clear view
Flashing blue, clouds are due
Steady red, rain ahead
Flashing red, snow instead


It is also used to announce Red Sox game cancellations due to weather with flashing red during Baseball season. And another couple of Red Sox links to the beacon were; Flashing blue and red, when the Curse of the Bambino is dead.

Flashing blue and red is also used to announce Red Sox World Series victory's. No one has come up with a line for that one yet as it's a fairly recent phenomena.
