Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

Why wouldn’t they make the whole thing red?
It works in regular snow and blood snow
I believe there’s some logic in alternating patterns being more attention-grabbing to our brains, which is why you usually see stripes on anything you need to be cautious around.
The pole isn’t for locating the hydrant, per se, as much as it is for avoiding the hydrant. It’s so you don’t drive into it if it’s covered in snow.
it’s also for locating the hydrant when it’s covered in snow. Historically we’d have 3-4 feet of snow and most places are more than somewhat lax about clearing out the hydrant.
Because its easier to see
It’s also why flashing led road signs exist here in Australia around school zones
Not a great analogy for somewhere that has snow
