A Status Red alert has been issued for coastal and mountain areas of Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick and Kerry.
Dozens of schools in the northwest and midlands are closed due to overnight snow and frost.
Difficult driving conditions have also been reported in many areas across the country.
While temperatures will rise during the day, Met Éireann says strong winds and heavy rain will develop from this afternoon.
Three Met Éireann weather warnings are in operation across the country.

Some local roads in Roscommon are impassable.

Slippery roads are also reported around Athlone, Kilkenny, Drogheda, Ennis, Thurles and Carlow Town.
Poor road conditions were also reported in Longford, Galway, Kerry, Limerick, Meath and Kildare.
Primary routes in the midlands are passable but conditions are described as treacherous on the old N6 Galway to Dublin road, which was not treated with salt last night.
