The only thing worse than having to clean your car windows from snow, is having to dig your car from under feet of snow.

The East Coast had an unexpected visit from winter and it wasn’t pretty. Just as Americans believed that the weather might heat up again, they got the opposite of what they expected: a massive snowstorm.

This wasn’t no ordinary storm that would usually occur in Washington DC or New York City, it came looking for trouble. So far this famous storm has burying people’s cars in the East Coast plus streets are unavailable to drivers due to feet of snow. To add to the chaos it’s caused, more than a dozen of schools were closed as snow days.

The occurred natural disaster has earned the name “Jonas.” It’s the first snowstorm on record to bring two feet or more of snow, it’s going down on history.

“More than 50 million people can be affected [by the] paralyzing storm,” according to the National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini on call with reporters on Thursday afternoon and so it did.

At least 48 people were found dead. Their deaths are uncertain but many believe it’s because of the severe weather in the area.

Many people at the airports thought they were safe from such a storm but not exactly. 1,800 flights were canceled and airports are currently trying to get back on track.

The storm began to form on January 22nd and reached its maximum strength on January 24. States such as Washington, West Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania were affected. What awaits them is heavy costs to clean up the mess, approximately $2.5 and $3 billion.

On Monday U.S. cities were starting to bounce back from the inches of snow that had buried them. In Washington DC, many buildings and offices were closed during the storm days and are now re-opening. Workers struggle trying to get to work but with all the street workers doing the cleanup and traffic it is quite difficult for them.

Social media was taken over by posts referring to the winter storm, some showing what’s going outside the house and others making humor out of the snow.
