The Met has issued a yellow ice warning in northern parts of Northern Ireland, including Belfast and Derry until noon on Wednesday
Wintry conditions will continue in Northern Ireland until the weekend, before milder and wetter weather sweeps in to create a temporary reprieve, the Met Office has said.
Paul Gundersen, a Met Office Chief Forecaster, said: “Over the last week, the UK has been held in a northerly airflow bringing cold, sometimes Arctic air, to the UK. But until this weekend’s transition, wintry hazards will continue especially in northern and eastern coastal areas while overnight frosts will be severe in places with some freezing fog patches.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Steven Keates added: “The boundary between the two air masses will create a window for snowfall over the weekend. This is likely to be transient in nature as the mild wet air from the west will ‘bump’ into the colder air, before displacing it further east. The RAC experienced its biggest day for breakdowns on record, with around 12,000 drivers needing help.
