Watch Over 40 Inches of Snow Fall in 40 Seconds

Winter Storm Jonas dumped over 40 inches of snow in parts of West Virginia over the past weekend. The historic storm ranked highly on many all-time snow total lists across the East Coast.

The 3-plus feet of snow that fell on West Virginia sounds like a lot, but it might be difficult to visualize that much snow. One West Virginia resident decided to set up a camera in his yard to help show people how much snow his town of Martinsburg received.

Wayne Bennett filmed the above time-lapse video — showing a skeleton and a large plank of wood with a yard stick attached — as snow quickly fell from Winter Storm Jonas. Bennett posted the video to Facebook where it has been viewed over 3 million times.
