as reggie pointed out earlier this morning, mike, it's hard to ask people to turn down the heat when it's so cold. >> absolutely. you do anything you can to stay warm at that point in time. your house, if it's 30 below outside and your house is 70, that little six-inch wall is keeping the 100-degree temperature difference away from you. that's amazing. the houses are expensive in minnesota. i built one. that's the reason why. because they have to build them for that extreme weather. instead of using 2 by 4s, they use 2 by 6s a lot to fit more insulation in the walls. couldn't even go in our attic. it had to be sealed and airtight just to keep it warm. here's a look at what's going on in san jose. milpitas into the depths of of the santa clara valley, we have the best radar returns right now. temperatures x look at this. we're in the low to mid-50s.

feet. some hail and graupel. na sd her so rain. >> hasn't been too busy yet. hopefully that means everybody is driving for conditions. a lot of the rain shifting south into the immediate bay area and getting into the southern areas instead. hopefully, that means they're not -- a few puddles left over and road spray kicking up. not a downpour this morning. we have one new crash, northbound highway 17 past hamilton avenue in the campbell area. sounds like it was initially reported as a three-vehicle crash. now it's just two. blocking one lane. no delays yet. i will keep an eye on that. golden gate bridge commute, looking great from the north bay. northbound side looking good. do use caution. we're hearing about flooding around lucky drive if you're heading further into marin county. we're doing pretty well as far as mass transit is concerned. don't forget, 5:00 a.m. start. we're about a week and a half away from that. no delays from muni and ace 1
