At least five people have died from weather-related crashes and more than 60 million were under weather alerts this morning.

McLEAN, Va. – At least five people have died from weather-related crashes and more than 60 million were under weather alerts Monday as two closely aligned storms poundedThe National Weather Service posted winter weather advisories – possibly hazardous conditions expected – for more than 55 million people and winter storm warnings to 6 million more. A storm warning means, among other things, that at least 4 inches of snow or 1/4 inch of ice likely are on the way.

On Monday morning, commuters struggled through a wintry mix from the second storm. That forced St. Louis Public Schools to cancel classes for 30,000 students, and tens of thousands more kids around the state also gained an impromptu weather holiday. Parts of Kansas already were under a foot of snow. The state Department of Transportation said a 21-year-old man died Sunday when a pickup overturned on an icy Wichita road.

"There is likely to be a narrow swath of 6- to 12-inch snowfall totals in the Northeast as well, but confidence remains low on exactly where that stripe will occur," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Rob Miller said.
