Absolutely. But we didn't name it then, either.
Schools were closed for a week. I had a big school project due on the first snow day, which I was staying up late to finish. We were so sure it was going to be a snow day, I asked my mom if I could go to bed. She said I'd better get it done, just in case. It was very bad...the roads were closed for a few days, and some people died because ambulances couldn't get to them. We did not lose power, though. My father-in-law took his snowmobile to Meijer to get food. There were employees who were stuck there and they remained open.
