More than 80 million from Colorado to Maine are under a winter weather alert as a Winter Storm Scott barrels toward the Northeast. 

The storm dropped several inches of snow in the central US over the weekend. Up to eight inches of snow had fallen in parts of far western Kansas by Sunday morning. 

But most areas of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois that were within the path of the storm had gotten no more than a few inches of snow. 

Forecasters are warning that bitter cold temperatures will follow the storm. 

The Missouri Transportation Department was advising people to stay off the roads if possible on Sunday. The National Weather Service says wind chills could drop below negative 20 in eastern Nebraska on Monday morning.

The snow moved into the Ohio Valley by midday and will move to the mid-Atlantic states Sunday afternoon before spreading into the rest of the Northeast.

New York will get between four to eight inches while Boston is expecting five to 10 inches. Philadelphia will get between two and four inches, according to CNN. 

Snow that fell overnight blanketed much of the Tri-State area on Saturday.

New York City, suburbs north and west of the city and most of Long Island reported three to five inches on Saturday morning. Areas further north and west including the Hudson Valley and the Catskills also saw snowfall. 

Some towns began declaring snow emergencies, ordering cars off the roads as snowplow vehicles removed large build-ups in certain areas.
