True story: just rang my wife in Sanibel, FL from a very wintry Wiltshire, UK.

Apparently, my wife has gone to cinema to see Sherlock Holmes (must be feeling homesick).

Young lady who works for us (Florida native) answered my wife's cellphone (as she correctly did not want to take it to the cinema, so left it at the office).

Young lady asked how I was. I said "fine, apart from being snowed in here".

She replied "sorry, I don't know what that means".

I do believe she was being genuine, or am I just a naive Brit?"
