Tuesday’s frigid forecast had nearly every metro-area school district calling off classes. The National Weather Service expects wind chills to reach 32 below zero when buses would have been picking up students Tuesday morning. Announcing closures Monday were the St. Paul, Minneapolis, Anoka-Hennepin, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan, South Washington County, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage, Lakeville, Mounds View, North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale, Roseville, Shakopee, Spring Lake Park, Forest Lake, Richfield and Inver Grove Heights public school districts. The Stillwater district will open its schools two hours later than usual. For a few other metro districts, Tuesday was scheduled as an off day for students even before the cold blew in. After subzero highs on Sunday and Monday, temperatures do begin to recover Tuesday following the frigid morning. A high of 9 is expected, according to the NWS, following by a high of 25 on Wednesday.
