The Met Office has issued a new yellow warning for large parts of Northern Ireland tonight and into tomorrow morning.
Forecasters said the warning for ice will be in place from 10pm tonight until 10am on Thursday and will be in place across four counties.
A spokesperson said there could be some disruption as a result of icy patches and people have been urged to take extra care as a result of untreated surfaces.
The warning is in place across counties Antrim, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Tyrone.
“Showers on Wednesday night will lead to a risk of icy patches,” a spokesperson said.
“Showers will be wintry over high ground across Northern Ireland, and to lower levels across northern Scotland with a slight covering of snow possible in places, mainly above 200 metres.
“Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.
“If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated.
“Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.”
The great clear-up: two hours sleep a night as specialist crews race to re-open roads after Storm Éowyn.
It comes as the clean up operation from Storm Éowyn continues across Northern Ireland with around 25,000 people across the country still without power as of Wednesday morning.
NIE Networks confirmed power has now been restored to 260,000 properties.

Meanwhile NI Water confirmed the number of properties impacted by Storm Éowyn are now less than 100.
“Significant progress has been made to repair damaged equipment and bring multiple assets which were impacted by the storm back into operation,” a spokesperson said.
“However, we are still very much managing a major incident and will continue to do so until all our customers have supply, and our assets are back on power.
“Our staff are still working 24/7 to physically check assets, particularly those still dependant on generators or have lost monitoring capability. We can give the assurance that we won’t stop until all properties are back on supply.
“We are now asking customers who don’t have water from the cold kitchen tap, to please let us know so we can investigate and restore as soon as possible. This may be due to a normal fault and not the storm, so we would ask customers to report interruptions to their supply in the usual way.”
