Red is a rare color

Yep, red's a rare color on these here maps. Red is the appropriate color for a blizzard warning. You might call it Code Red. All kidding aside, red is not a good color to see on a NWS warning map. It means people who are out in those conditions are facing very dire straits. Our prayers go out to those who are traveling Code Red areas on Christmas Day.
