The gritters will be out across the county this evening as a new weather alert has been issued.
Kent County Council's Highways team said crews were heading out from 6pm to treat primary routes across Kent.
It comes as a yellow warning for snow and ice has been issued by the Met Office for parts of the county tomorrow.
It runs from just after midnight on Monday until 6pm and we may see snow and ice causing problems on the roads and railways.
The new weather alert follows heavy wind and rain, which caused damage and fallen trees across Kent, when Storm Bella swooped in last night.
Flood alerts also remain in force for many areas of the county, including the lower River Stour between Canterbury and Ashford and the River Medway between Yalding and Maidstone.
Further into the week and towards the New Year conditions will remain cold with sunshine and the possibility of wintry showers, the Met Office said.
