Whut up, Y'all?

So, that little Y'all ain't from 'round here, are ya? thing that many of you have done?

I scored 70%, AKA "Just under the Mason-Dixon Line."

So, it's going to snow today. Depending on which forecast you believe, it's going to be totally inconsequential and you might not notice, or the next Ice Age is approaching and we're all going to die terrible icey deaths. I'm up for either, really.

I suspect the reality is somewhere in the middle. The one concession I make to the threat of snow is that I fill the gas tank. I can't think of a worse way to end my day than to be sitting in traffic creeping home at 3mph and running out of gas. Well, I can, but while we're still in the realm of more likely than getting struck by lightning, this is somewhere up there when relevant.

I had something I wanted to talk about, but I can't remember what the hell it was now, so you get fluff this morning.

I grew up in the Hampton Roads area (primarily Va. Beach, but Norfolk for the first few years), with my mother's family all being from New Hampshire (and with very much rural New England accents), but the military influence is so strong there that the language is almost entirely neutral. My bio. father's family are from the New Bern, NC area originally (and they're definately all sporting rural NC accents), so my pronunciation tends to be a bit...odd at times.
