Patna District Magistrate Kumar Ravi has extended suspension of classes up to standard 8 in all schools till January 13.
Apart from Patna, district authorities in Purnea, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Bhojpur, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur, among others, have also suspended classes till January 13.
A met official said a major part of Bihar was in the grip of cold and the condition will continue till the next 48 hours.
"Most of north-west and north central parts of Bihar are facing a cold spell due to cold winds coming from the snow-laden Himalayan region. There is little chance of respite from cold conditions in the coming two days," the official said.
This year, Purnea recorded a minimum temperature of 1.2 degrees Celsius on last Monday, Gaya recorded 2.4 degrees last week and Patna recorded 4.7 degrees on Friday. Bhagalpur recorded 3 degrees Celsius on Monday.
Dense fog has disrupted air and rail services with several flights being delayed and long-distance trains running late.
