A PSNI spokesperson said: "Motorists are advised to take extra care on the roads today, Thursday 9th March, especially on those which may not have been gritted.
"Clear your windscreen of ice and snow before you set off and remember to slow down and increase the distance between you and the car ahead.
"Stopping distances increase greatly when weather conditions are poor, so slow down and leave a bigger gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, and drive as smoothly as possible.
"Please also listen to and consider all travel and safety advice before making any journey and respect any road closure signage."
For Thursday's weather, the Met Office said: "A dry start to the day with some bright spells, but outbreaks of snow spreading north during the afternoon, heavy at times. Easterly winds becoming strong. Maximum temperature 4C."
The forecaster added: "Snow will continue through this evening and the first part of the night but then clearing east, leaving clear skies behind. Winds easing. Minimum temperature -4C."
