In addition to dumping record-breaking amounts of snow across 16 East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states this weekend, winter storm "Jonas" is also responsible for the deaths of 36 people.

For many, the monster snowstorm arrived on Saturday, bringing as much as 3 feet of snow to some parts of the East Coast. With Central Park receiving 26.8 inches, New York City recorded its second-largest snowfall since 1869, which was just 0.1 inch short of tying the record 26.9 inches set in 2006, reports NBC News.

Due to the storm, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo shutdown the "City That Never Sleeps" by issuing a travel ban Saturday afternoon that prevented all motorists outside of emergency vehicles from driving in New York City and Long Island. New York City buses and certain subways were also closed to the public. The travel ban was then lifted Sunday morning.

The deadly snowstorm also brought the nation's capital to a standstill, with 22.4 inches of snow, while Baltimore received 25.5 inches of snow, breaking an 81-year-old record.

Meanwhile, other places reported snow accumulations that topped two feet, including Roselle Park, New Jersey, which received 28.2 inches; Philomont, Virginia, which got 39 inches; and 42 inches in Glengary, West Virginia, reports The New York Times.

In addition to immobilizing entire cities, the Associated Press reports that three dozen people were killed in snowstorm-related accidents.

In Washington, DC, an 82-year-old man died after going into cardiac arrest while shoveling snow in front of his home. Likewise, a 44-year-old Capitol Police officer, died of a heart attack after shoveling snow at his home in Magnolia, Delaware.

The mammoth snowstorm took the lives of six people in North Carolina who died in car accidents during the storm, including a 4-year-old boy.

Tennessee saw two snow-related fatalities in seperate car accidents.

Meanwhile, a 23-three-year-old mother named Sashalynn Rosa and her one-year-old son died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in a running car that had its tailpipe covered in snow. Her 3-year-old daughter remains hospitalized in critical condition.
