If anybody is calling it that they have the attention span of a gnat.
20 years takes us back to 2002. In that time we have had numerous storms comparable to this one. I might believe that this storm was a once-in-four-years storm. Just a few years ago the University of Waterloo closed for 2 days in a row during exams, when that meant massive re-scheduling.
