25 March 1847: In Montreal, QC, a heavy fall of snow accompanied by high winds drifted huge piles of snow as to render exposed city streets extremely difficult to traverse, while country roads were made impassable. The city had the appearance of winter at the close of January. Concern was raised over delivery of the mails from Upper Canada to Boston for dispatch to Europe on the Hibernia ship .– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
