PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) -- As slick roads, and icy conditions persist through Thursday morning. 10 On Your Side had team coverage to help you stay prepared. With snow still on the ground in Virginia Beach, many drivers were outside scraping the snow off their cars. John Atkinson, a Virginia Beach resident, said he's bundled up for the cold weather outside. Health experts said that the extreme cold temperatures can cause life-threatening conditions. Hypothermia and frostbite can be a result of staying outside for too long, unprotected. Residents told 10 On Your Side's Deja Parker exactly how they were feeling. "Be happy when it's gone. I really don't care for it that much," said Atkinson. "… I don't like having to do this." Atkinson recommended to fellow neighbors to take precaution, bracing for the cold. "Just give yourself a little extra time, bundle up, make sure your vehicles in good working order, windows clear, tires properly inflated things like that," said Atkinson. North Carolina is facing similar struggles. 10 On Your Side Keagan Hughes was in Elizabeth City this morning and noticed Highway 17 was clear for drivers. One of the main problems for drivers on Thursday after the winter blast, will be their own roads in the neighborhoods. “This morning has been better than yesterday morning, but we still have some serious conditions on the side roads here this morning. Just check in pipes to see if anything froze overnight,” said Mike Arbogast who lives in Elizabeth City. More than 2,000 employees and contractors with NCDOT have spread 953,000 gallons of brine solution and 15,000 tons of salt. Many residential roads were found covered in ice. “Once cars and trucks drive over it, it really packs it down and then it really gets slick,” said Arbogast.
