The AA warned drivers to take extra care as the weather conditions deteriorate.
George Flinton, AA Patrol of the Year, said: "The first really cold snap of winter can catch drivers unaware, putting them at risk.
"Preparation is key. Drivers should allow extra time for journeys, make sure their cars are clear of snow and ice before setting off and ensure they take warm clothes, food and drinks with them in case of unexpected delays.
"They should also make sure they drive to the conditions. So, allow extra space between vehicles and keep speeds down."
