40 minutes late this morning? b.a.r.t. it has been resolved but if you're just tuning in, i'll take you back to 4:40 this morning when we had a disabled maintenance vehicle stuck on the tracks. they weren't sure what the problem was, just couldn't get it moved. that was between macarthur and 19th street stations. they are in recovery mode but that was a tough spot to have something blocking. nobody could get from the east bay into san francisco. matt is in macarthur station this morning. he said trains were flying through at first and now we have a bit of a stack-up. bay bridge toll plaza not quite as much fog but there is a dense fog advisory for the bay bridge and the richmond-san rafael bridge and those metering lights are on as well. so we're starting to fill in but overall we're looking at a pretty friday-like commute if you are driving today. let's check in with meteorologist mike nicco. hi, everybody. yep, the frost got me again. i sent myself a tweet. there it is. of my car in scraping some ice this morning. i like to use that to be 5 to 10

minutes late to work. probably not a good idea to do it a lot. 161% of average as of yesterday. the new measurements will come out about 8:30 this morning. i will tweet those. the key, though, even though we broke the news that the drought is over, up in the sierra, we're still at 72% for the entire snow year, which runs through april 1. so we still need some more snow. now, we've got a few snow showers there this morning. and we're going to have snow on the grapevine for the better part of the day if you're heading that way. at 6:15, your toyota tahoe report. the bay bridge toll plaza, driving in the bay area, paying tolls, just a way of life, right? wait until you see how far one guy went to beat paying the toll in his hometown. 27-year-old in florida created the cover for his license plate you're going to see it in a second. hooked up to remote control and that happened. so when he goes through a toll plaza, the cover drops, covers

his plate. he might have gotten away with it except on wednesday as recruised through the toll gates, he hit the remote, the cover dropped and right behind him was a state trooper so now instead of paying $1.25 toll, he's facing felony charges, fines, and possible jail time. he's going to be having an endless summer behind bars. that's more on that b.a.r.t. delay impacting the morning commute. you're looking live at the macarthur station in oakland. we're live where the system is starting to recover. after a week of devastating floods across the bay area, now the clean-up efforts can begin. what residents need to know before they begin to clear out damaged property. plus, size does matter when plus, size does matter when it comes to your coffee
