This was really odd on the Washington D.C. beltway today. All of the BIG traffic warning signs said "Amber Alert" then had a car type and tag number. It caused a lot of traffic jams because nobody had a clue what the signs were talking about. My first thought was "Uh, Oh... terrorist stuff happening near by." Then I thought, "Wait we are on code orange, not code amber." Then I remembered that the snow caused a lot of code red days (govt. closed) except for the one school district in VA that was code green (school closed). All of the other school systems were code red, yellow, or blue. Too many colors for too many issues...

Goodness, do you mean to say that the highway signs in the D.C. area use the codes for weather? Sheesh........talk about adding to the anxiety. I would suffer any traffic jam at all if it meant rescuing a kidnapped child......but weather alerts.......oh my!
