Winter Storm – January 21—23, 2016
Posted at 4:08 PM ET
From January 21-23, a significant winter storm affected areas of the United States from the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic to New England. The winter storm, unofficially named “Jonas” by the Weather Channel, produced significant snowfall totals from Washington D.C. to the New York Metro area, breaking many daily snowfall records. Strong winds together with blowing snow often reduced visibility below a quarter mile. Strong onshore winds brought hurricane-force wind gusts to some areas and drove a storm surge impacting areas of Delaware and New Jersey.

Winter Storms in United States
Posted at 11:51 AM ET
Two major winter storms have caused severe disruption to northeastern regions of the United States over the last week, affecting millions of people and forcing several states to declare emergencies. The heavy snowfall and strong winds associated with the storms caused trees and power lines to fall across the region, which in turn knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. There have also been reports of property damage as buildings collapsed under the weight of heavy snow. States of emergencies have been declared in Washington DC, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and New Jersey after record-breaking snowfall. The storms forced government buildings, businesses and schools in the region to close and caused severe transport disruption. Reports said at least two people were killed during the storms.
