Today I ran into town on a rainy day [well took the T and walked...I don't run]. There are certain buildings in Boston that I love admiring. As you have read in a few posts this year, the Pru is one of them. The John Hancock tower is another one that is really hard to miss, this weird glass sky scraper in the middle of old stone looking buildings. Anyway, the building with the red beacon on top is the Berkeley Building. This weather beacon shining steady red means rain (though, I argue it should be flashing blue as it was cloudy and not raining). If it was blinking red, it would mean snow…it also has blue lights which if steady means the weather is clear or flashing blue which means clouds. This can be seen throughout Boston, so if looking out your window doesn't give you a clue as to what the weather is like, you can look up in the sky and read the weather beacon :)
