I've heard it said extensively on the radio, but I suppose many might be a bit reluctant.

Isn't the use of the term "hurricane" terribly misleading in this case? After all, true hurricanes are tropical systems. An extratropical system like this one may have hurricane-strength winds, but referring to it as a "hurricane" has the potential not just to confuse people, but possibly to frighten them as well, since (true) hurricanes tend to be considerably more destructive (due to their organization) than extratropical winter storms, no matter how many problems the latter may cause.
