wettest 48-hour period in 20 areas, but we were still a good 7.25" above average. walnut creek is usually packed with traffic. it is going the wrong way. we do see more traffic. this is coming northbound headed southbound where we untilally see tons of brake lights and that is a reason why leyla gulen is not here. we will show you what is going on 31 at petaluma and 29 in guerneville and 28 in santa rosa and everyone else is above freezing and we are above freezing for most of our inland valleys and it is breezy at 37 in lafayette, and same in new, 34 in cupertino and 33 in san jose and we have mid-to-upper 40's in san francisco and half moon bay and beautiful picture and i could look at this all morning, postcards from the exploritorium. we will turn this dark sky into a deep blue sky this afternoon with a slight warming trend and freezing inland valleys tonight and we are going to see a warming trend through the

weekend and possible a "spare the air" but low-to-mid 50's everywhere and cooler than agency. a good chance of breezy temperatures inland and maybe a patch of frost or two around palo alto and stanford in that area and we will still have 40's around san francisco and half moon bay. here is what is going on the low that brought the wind to pasadena and caused problems on the tents for the game. high pressure is settling over us and a warming trend if the new year but as we look at our san rafael camera this is an area that could possibly have poor air quality tomorrow. it could be the beginning of many "spare the air" days as we look at the seven day forecast, we are going to remain well above average all the way through starting on saturday wednesday. new we have the possibility of wet weather next thursday. that would stop the "spare the air" and the temperatures in the 60's. have a did start to the new area. we will, mike, thanks so much. not a great start in traffic in the east bay.

we will take a look at the map, eastbound 580, golf links road a car came off the freeway just too quickly and wound up wedged between the trees on the right shoulder of the ramp and c.h.p. is on the scene so be careful if you are driving past your area they are waiting for a tow truck. elsewhere, you are looking pretty if. >> airplanes go up-and-down but so do the air fares. will they go up or down for the fathers for the new year? it is said the fares control in 2015 and will be lower because fuel prices are declining. on average the lowest fees are offer on tuesday, got that, tuesday. you buy airline ticket debts on tuesday and by booking an average of 57 days ahead of time. prices shift our by hour so keep checking. >> otters at the aquarium at the bay in san francisco got an icy street but not for eating.

yesterday, the aquarium filled the attory home with 70's pounds of snow and the three river otters love to roll and slide in the snow. third skin acts like a warm snow suit so they kept on playing. >> there is no off button on a river otter. we designed this so there are a lot of things for them to do, surfaces to jump on, tunnels to crawl in and water to play in. >> they are playful. north american river otters were almost killed into extinction for the fur that capitals them warm. fortunately, conservation efforts are letsing them make a real come back in california especially in the marshes and the delta area. still ahead on the we morning news, a cool tradition and why people will be ice skating in bathing suiteds and beach wear later today. >> stay in the know with abc7
