  • La tempête de neige du 3 au 5 mars 1971 sur l’est du Canada est un événement météorologique exceptionnel qui a affecté le Sud du Québec, les Provinces de l'Atlantique canadiennes et l’extrême Nord-Est des États-Unis. Bien que la tempête n’ait pas été celle qui a donné le plus de neige au cours du XXe siècle, la combinaison de la neige, des vents et de la poudrerie (chasse-neige élevée) lui a valu le surnom de « Tempête du siècle ». Ainsi, dans la seule région de Montréal, 17 personnes sont mortes, les bris aux fils de transport de l'électricité ont privé de courant certains secteurs jusqu'à 10 jours et les vents soufflant à 110 km/h poussèrent des bancs de neige jusqu'au deuxième étage des maisons.
