We all have seen the John Hancock Weather Beacon, but how many of us know what it means?
The Boston Business Journal cites a poem that can help you decode it:
Steady blue, clear view.
Flashing blue, clouds due.
Steady read, rain ahead.
Flashing red, snow instead. (or in summer, Red Sox game is cancelled)

There are changes in store for the Back Bay skyline. The project will include a 220-room hotel with meeting spaces, 142 residences, parking, and several restaurants.
“A rendering of the proposed building, to be called 40 Trinity Place, shows a slender glass tower with an angular top. The developers still need approval from the Boston Redevelopment Authority, but said they hope to start construction by next fall.”
More information on the proposed hotel is available on Boston.com’s Business Updates.
