"The snow showers are going to continue, and it's probably going to be later on Thursday morning before they start to clear away," said Met Éireann forecaster Eoin Sherlock.
"Coupled with strong winds, that could produce some pretty poor driving conditions at times, so let's keep that in mind.
"So if any wet surfaces, any showers during the night, if they fall on a subzero surface, frost and ice will be likely to form. So there's a double threat there."
