The January 2016 United States blizzard was a crippling and historic blizzard that produced up to 3 ft (91 cm) of snow in parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States from January 22–24, 2016. Evolving from a shortwave trough that formed in the Pacific Northwest on January 19, the system consolidated into a defined low-pressure area on January 21 over Texas. Regarding it as a "potentially historic blizzard", meteorologists indicated the storm could produce more than 2 ft (61 cm) of snow across a wide swath of the Mid-Atlantic region and could "paralyze the eastern third of the nation". Winter weather expert Paul Kocin described the blizzard as "kind of a top-10 snowstorm".

  • The January 2016 United States blizzard was a crippling and historic blizzard that produced up to 3 ft (91 cm) of snow in parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States from January 22–24, 2016. Evolving from a shortwave trough that formed in the Pacific Northwest on January 19, the system consolidated into a defined low-pressure area on January 21 over Texas. Regarding it as a "potentially historic blizzard", meteorologists indicated the storm could produce more than 2 ft (61 cm) of snow across a wide swath of the Mid-Atlantic region and could "paralyze the eastern third of the nation". Winter weather expert Paul Kocin described the blizzard as "kind of a top-10 snowstorm". On January 20–22, the governors of eleven states and the mayor of Washington, D.C. declared a state of emergency in anticipation of significant snowfall and blizzard conditions. Approximately 103 million people were affected by the storm, with 33 million people placed under blizzard warnings. More than 13,000 flights were cancelled in relation to the storm, with effects rippling internationally. Thousands of National Guardsmen were placed on standby, and states deployed millions of gallons of brine and thousands of tons of road salt to lessen the storm's effect on roadways. A travel ban was instituted for New York City and Newark, New Jersey for January 23–24. The storm was given various unofficial names, including Winter Storm Jonas, Blizzard of 2016, and Snowzilla. Seven states observed snowfall in excess of 30 in (76 cm), with accumulations peaking at 42 in (110 cm) in Glengary, West Virginia. Ice- and snow-covered roads led to hundreds of incidents across the affected region, several of which resulted in deaths and injuries. At least 55 people were killed in storm-related incidents: Twelve in Virginia; nine in Pennsylvania; six each in New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina; four in South Carolina; three each in Maryland and Washington, D.C.; and one each in Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Ohio. Total economic losses are estimated between $500 million and $3 billion. The storm ranked as a Category 5 "extreme" event for the Northeast on the Regional Snowfall Index, and a Category 4 event for the Southeast. It is the most recent winter storm to rank as a Category 5 winter storm, and the first to do so since the 2011 Groundhog Day blizzard. (en)
  • A finales de enero de 2016, una tormenta de invierno impulsó a que varios estados del Atlántico Medio de Estados Unidos se declaren en estado de emergencia. El sistema se consolidó en una zona de baja presión en Texas, el 21 de enero de 2016. Los meteorólogos la definieron como una «tormenta de nieve potencialmente histórica» e indicaron que la tormenta podría producir más de 60 cm de nieve a través de una amplia franja de la región del Atlántico Medio y podría «paralizar el tercio oriental de la nación».​​ Entre el 20 y 22 de enero los gobernadores de once estados, y el alcalde de Washington D. C., declararon el estado de emergencia en previsión de nevadas importantes y condiciones de tormenta. Se estima que aproximadamente 85 millones de personas se encuentran en la trayectoria de la tormenta, con 33 millones de personas bajo advertencia de ventisca. Más de 10 000 vuelos fueron cancelados en relación con la tormenta, con efectos internacionales. Miles de hombres de la Guardia Nacional de los Estados Unidos fueron puestos en estado de alerta, millones de litros de salmuera y miles de toneladas de sal han sido esparcidos en el camino para así disminuir el efecto de la tormenta en las carreteras. Una prohibición de viaje se instituyó para Nueva York el 23 de enero. La tormenta tiene varios nombres no oficiales, incluyendo tormenta de invierno Jonas y Snowzilla. El hielo y las carreteras cubiertas de nieve provocaron cientos de accidentes en toda la región afectada, varios de los cuales resultaron en muertes y heridos. Al menos 31 personas murieron en incidentes relacionados con la tormenta: 5 en Nueva York, 5 en Carolina del Norte, 5 en Virginia, 3 en Maryland, 3 en Carolina del Sur, 3 en Washington, DC, 2 en Nueva Jersey, 2 en Pensilvania, 1 en Arkansas, 1 en Kentucky, y 1 en Ohio.

Plus de 13 000 vols ont été annulés, tant locaux qu'internationaux. La Garde nationale de plusieurs États fut mise à contribution pour aider au déneigement et aux secours. Des milliers de déneigeuses et des millions de tonnes de fondant routier furent utilisés pour dégager les routes. (fr)
