With much of the East Coast getting buried in a snowstorm that focused on the middle of the Eastern seaboard more than New England which usually gets hit the hardest, a large part of the country came to a complete standstill.
Dubbed Snowstorm Jonas by various weather outlets, the monster storm has also been called Snowzilla by people on social media.
And, with so many people stuck inside, or at least at home, people had a lot of fun with the hashtag #Snowzilla.
Here's a look at some of the funniest, best, and downright most entertaining Tweets about the storm which was expected to dump more than two feet of snow in certain areas.

2. This one probably needs a call to the authorities as at best the parents are stopping to take a picture before rescuing their child and at worst, something bad is going to happen as more snow falls.
