Montgomery County Public Schools are operating on a two-hour delay because of icy roads Monday morning.

The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang also tweeted that there were "lots of icy spots on the roads this morning."

Temperatures are expected to remain cold throughout the day, with a high at 37 and lows plunging into the 20s tonight. With all the rain we got on Sunday, the sudden freeze translates to dangerous road conditions.

Things will warm up later this week, reaching close to 50 on Friday and close to 60 on Sunday, according to Weather.com forecasts. We could get some moisture as well in the form of rain on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
