Forecasters predicted heavy snow and high winds throughout the Mid-Atlantic, and the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Washington, DC and Baltimore and a blizzard watch for New York.
DC may be the hardest hit, where meteorologists were expecting at least 2 feet of snow to blanket the city. That would make it the biggest snowstorm since 1922, Mashable reports. New York was also expected to receive 8 to 12 inches of snow, and parts of the New Jersey coast are at risk of severe flooding.
But how does this blizzard stack up against previous winter storms? Here's how Jonas compares with other major storms that have hit the northeast.
