Bundle up! A winter storm that spread snow across the D.C. area left behind cold so bitter that some area schools are opening late.

Temperatures will remain about 10 to 15 degrees below normal Monday, only reaching the mid to upper 20s by the afternoon.

But it will feel even colder as you head out for work or school.

Wind chills in the teens and single digits will leave the D.C. area shivering Monday morning.

Schools in Fredericksburg and Stafford County in Virignia will open 2-hours late Monday. Schools in Calvert and St. Mary's counties in Maryland, and Page and Spotsylvania counties in Virginia will be closed.

A winter storm moved through the area Saturday, giving the D.C. and Baltimore metro areas a dusting to about 2 inches of snow while parts of southern Maryland saw about 3 to 6 inches, according to Storm Team4.

The National Weather Service said parts of southeast Virginia saw almost a foot of snow by Saturday afternoon. The Hampton Roads region and central Virginia were the hardest hit.

Highs will climb above freezing Tuesday and could reach the 50s Wednesday and the 60s Thursday.
