This was on the shelf at
chelona's Dodo Cooking Supplies and Recipes:

You are 'French'. In the nineteenth century, it
was the international language of diplomacy.
It is a 'beautiful' language, meaning that it
is really just a low-fidelity copy of Latin.
You know the importance of communicating
'diplomatically', which for you means both
being polite and friendly when necessary and
using sophisticated, vicious sarcasm when
appropriate. Your life is guided by either
existentialism or nihilism, depending on the
weather. You have a certain appreciation for
the finer things in life, which is a diplomatic
way of saying that you are a disgusting
hedonist. Your problem is that French has been
obsolete for a long time.
What obsolete skill are you?

The snow yesterday was odd. Despite the temp being at or just above freezing (and I mean that literally, the high temp yesterday was 33F), the snow didn't start making any real impact until late afternoon. Once it started accumulating though, it did add up. We got about five inches out in the west end of Fairfax Co, a little more, or a little less depending on exact location.
The initial flakes didn't appear until just after 9am (though the radar showed precip from a few hours prior, it was too dry for it to make it to ground level). We're probably lucky there. If the ground had a coat before the sunrise, with the cloud cover and the low temps, it would have acculuated the whole time instead of holding off till late afternoon. It was VERY pretty this morning on my drive in to work though. The world looks amazing through a fresh blanket of snow.
