We've had a lovely, steady, dry snow falling since about two o'clock. I took a broom to the inch or two on my front steps, to make tomorrow's work easier. One prediction called for a layer of ice. Wheee.

In reference to "functionality," C writes, "Yes, it's a real word, a good word, even a functional word, but like all words, it should be used only where appropriate. I am bothered (as I'm sure you are) when I see "functionality" when a better choice would be:
-function
-facility
-ability
-utility

Perhaps you've noticed (especially if you've read any student compositions) that some people seem to believe that more syllables invariably mean a better word, sentence, paragraph and page?"
