Songfacts®:

This song is about the Winter Storms that hit Southern Ontario/Northern New York in 1977. The band grew up in Saint Catharines, Ontario and it was in an area that was hit the worst by the storms. Even though the band members were born after the storms, their parents lived through it and they've grown up hearing stories about what happened and decided to write the song about the storm, seeing as it had affected their parents and surrounding area in such a large way. >>
