Snow has been forecast for Orange, Blayney, Oberon and Lithgow on Friday, with the mercury predicted to hit a high of only nine in Bathurst and dropping down to just two degrees.
The temperature is expected to hit a low of -2 on Saturday, -5 on Sunday and -3 on Monday.
Council recommends motorists to take extra caution when driving at night, dawn or dusk, when surface moisture and dew can freeze into black ice.
Difficult to see, black ice can remain on the road even during fine days in shaded or low-lying areas.
