According to The Weather Channel, Winter Storm Jonas was a powerful and dangerous winter storm that impacted tens of millions of people. The snow has stopped falling, but the effects of the storm are still being felt, especially with road conditions and snow removal. Public transportation and flights are still limited, but the conditions are improving as time goes on. The storm resulted in at least 15 deaths, which is very sad.

During Winter Storm Jonas, 1 to 3 inch per hour snowfall rates were experienced from Washington D.C. to New York City. The storm also produced 30+ inches of snowfall in one day, where New York’s JFK airport piled up 30.3 inches of snow in one calendar day on Saturday.

The distance between more than two feet of snow and bare ground was less than 100 miles in southeast New York, which is an incredible difference across a relatively short distance. Also, Winter Storm Jonas dropped snowfall on 31 states, all the way from South Dakota to Massachusetts, including Florida. Surprisingly, forecasts for Jonas were incredibly accurate and published prior to the storm!
