Up to 5cm of snow is forecast to fall in some places by Tuesday morning while temperatures in Ulster could fall to - 7 degrees in snowy areas.
On Wednesday there will be rain, sleet and snow showers on the west and north coasts, pushing further inland at times, but it will be mainly dry elsewhere.
Met Éireann said early indications suggest it will become less cold for Friday and the weekend but unsettled with rain or showers at times.

Patches of freezing fog may also occur.
Motorists are advised to slow down, take extra care and remember stopping distances are ten times longer in snow and ice.
