I do indeed remember it.  It believe it was 1973 or thereabouts.  I was
living in Westmount at the time.

I remember several decades ago, one snowstorm was so bad that all single 
story homes were completely buried under by snow.  A state of emergency 
was declared, and anyone with snowmobiles were allowed to use them in 
the city for rescue purposes.  Highways were snowed in, cars and trucks 
were no longer to be seen under the amount of snow.  The plows were not 
allowed on the highways for fear that they would hit automobiles (some 
with people still in them).  It took almost a week to make road just 
passible.

Denys, you should remember this, you were still living in Montreal.
