Sounds like the weather here. We got over 100cm of snow in the past few weeks. There are snow banks taller than I am everywhere.

I haven't seen all that many "Frank"s in Hong Kong, where almost everyone (at least middle class and up) has their Chinese name AND English name stamped on their passports at the same time. But there are a LOT of names that has its origins in German language.
