This brief report describes the weather conditions in Montreal at the time of the famous snowstorm and compares it to three other significant snowstorms recorded at the Montreal-Dorval station since the early 1940s. The three other storms, classified by snowfall amount, occurred on December 26–28, 1969, February 16–17, 1954, and March 26–27, 1955 (Appendix A). Each of these storms clearly had significant impacts, which were related to the socio-economic conditions of the time. However, the most notable characteristic of the March 1971 storm was not necessarily the amount of snowfall (fourth among the four storms), but rather the combination of three other factors: snowfall intensity, wind speed, and depth of snow on the ground at the beginning of the storm. Synoptic description The storm was caused by a coastal low-pressure system from the Carolinas that intensified rapidly after 00:00 GMT on March 4, 1971, (19:00 EST on March 3, 1971) as it passed over Virginia. The low was located in New York State at 966 mb on March 4 at 12:00 GMT, after deepening 33 mb in 12 hours. It continued its northeasterly course while slowly filling, moving into New Brunswick on March 5 at 12:00 GMT. At that time, it had a central pressure of 974 mb. Progression of the storm Figures 2 and 3 show the hourly progression of wind speed and visibility at the MontrealDorval International Airport and Quebec City Airport. Visibility at Dorval diminished gradually as the snow began to fall, dropping dramatically in the evening of March 3 as the wind intensity increased. Visibility was reduced to less than 1 km due to moderate snow and blowing snow for at least 17 hours. It was also during this period that Dorval recorded wind speeds of 70–75 km/h with gusts to nearly 110 km/h. Conditions in Quebec City were similar but deteriorated much more rapidly after the snow began to fall. The average winds associated with this storm were stronger at this station and contributed to the rapid reduction in visibility after the snow started falling. There was a lag of nearly 18 hours between the onset of the storm at these two stations. The storm progressed in a similar manner in other parts of the province. Snowfall associated with moderate to strong winds quickly reduced visibility to less than 0.5 km for periods of up to 24 hours (Appendix B).

The following observations can be made from the data: 1. The average daily temperatures were relatively similar (with the exception of February 1954) for all storms; 2. Of the four storms, the March 1971 storm at Montreal-Dorval had the least amount of snowfall; 3. The depth of snow on the ground, an important factor at the start of a storm, was 56 cm; 4. The average wind speed for March 4, 1971 as well as the maximum hourly wind speed were the strongest recorded; 5. The maximum wind gusts recorded on March 4 were severe, reaching up to 108 km/h; 6. The combination of strong to severe winds, significant depth of snow on the ground and amount of snowfall all contributed to aggravate the effects of the storm of March 3–4, 1971, at Montreal.

Figure 3 shows the snowfall accumulation for March 3–5, 1971. The heaviest snowfall occurred in southwestern Quebec along the St. Lawrence River, in Laurentides Park and in the Gaspé region. Stations that reported the largest amounts of snow for this period include Lac St-Denis with 80.5 cm, Mont Apica (Laurentides Park) with 80.2 cm, Lac Jacques-Cartier (Laurentides Park) with 69.9 cm, Ouimet (Gaspé) with 76.2 cm, StÉleuthère (Kamouraska) with 74.2 cm and Upton (Eastern Townships) with 72.6 cm. Appendix C presents a comprehensive list of snowfall in Quebec. TR: The French reads “les vents moyens quotidiens.” Should it read “vents horaires moyens”? March 6, 2001 3 Figure 3: Snow accumulation (cm) on March 3–5, 1971 Conclusion The storm of March 3–5, 1971, had a wide range of effects, including school closures, slowdowns or stoppages of road, rail and air traffic and major disruptions of social and economic activities. Storms like this underscore our dependence on the smooth functioning of our infrastructure to carry out daily activities. Although only the fourth heaviest in terms of snowfall in the Montreal area, this storm caused major problems mainly due to wind speed and blowing snow, which aggravated conditions in the Montreal metropolitan region. Montreal was certainly not the most affected region, receiving less snowfall than Laurentides Park and some communities in the Gaspé, but the “storm of the century” clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of major cities to extreme climate events.
