Despite kicking off the winter with mild December temperatures, Mother Nature decided to remind the East Coast that it was, in fact, still winter. The monumental snow storm that hit last weekend, known as winter storm Jonas, caused over two feet of snow in some areas of the East Coast, as well as shut down metros, businesses and schools everywhere. While some prepared for Jonas by stocking up on groceries and digging out their shovels, others decided to relax, lay back, and use the entire storm as a perfectly valid excuse to take to social media and make as many Jonas Brothers references as possible during the duration of the storm.
