There was a slight cover of frost on the road this morning. I recalled a word from a poem we were forced to read in tenth grade English class. Rime. Meaning hoarfrost. Rarely used now except in northern England and Scotland. Is anyone able to confirm this? Does it still appear in German and Dutch?

It's also the olden days spelling of rhyme, no? As in that of the Ancient Mariner.
