Met Éireann has issued a Status Orange weather warning for the entire country, including Kerry, for the period from 5pm on Sunday through to noon on Monday.
Temperatures are expected to fall to minus 5 degrees and below during this period with severe frost and ice forecast.
Kerry County Council is advising members of the public to heed the weather warnings and to continue to travel with extreme care on all routes across Kerry.
The Council is also asking members of the public to reach out to vulnerable neighbours given the likelihood of freezing temperatures over the coming days.
Council crews will again treat priority routes twice overnight tonight (including national primary and secondary roads) but the Council is reminding motorists to always assume that a road has not been treated and to travel with caution, to allow extra times for journeys, to slow down, and to allow extra space between vehicles for braking.
As driving conditions will likely be hazardous again on Sunday morning, motorists, if travel is essential, are urged, where possible, to use national primary and secondary roads, which are priorities for salting.
Rain, sleet and hail showers in parts of the county are continuing to make conditions very difficult. Council crews are responding to issues as they arise and when weather conditions allow.
The Council will continue to provide updates on its social media platforms and through the media.
