Seem to prevent severe death and illness. you certainly have this seemingly intuitive ability to deliver the news, give us some hope, give us the facts. what is your reaction to what matt dowd is saying about the messaging, maybe resetting us to expect never maybe to return to normal but to accept a new reality? >> yeah, so, first of all, i think matt is completely right. we keep doing this. we did this last year when our previous president kept saying, you know, its going to be gone by april, g...

>> reporter: aaron, back out here live, this is what it looks like on the roadways. a slushy mess. the traffic is relatively light and folks heeding the warnings and hunkering in place and urging people to take it easy tomorrow. here in the charlotte area, significant ice events are rare. the last time we saw this was in december of 2002. >> also why its really good that people are not out on the roads right now and hopefully the case into the evening hours when things could get colder and worse...
