we start at 5:00 and see the line sinking south and falling apart. that's toward 11:00. clouds will clear out. dry air. look how cold it gets. the santa clara valley with a east bay and north bay in this freeze warning until cooked -- from 9:00 in the morning every day. wednesday through friday. larry: mike, we will check in with you in a few minutes for the seven-day forecast but we want to take a look at the snow in the east bay. these are the dublin hills, mount diablo has so much snow, conditions up there, sky 7 cannot make it over there at this point, but this doesn't happen often, maybe a few times a year. if we only we had more snow and rain down here. that would help us out. it is beautiful. no doubt about that. kristen: to ryan curry, live in the east bay with the frost

advisory, some does causing some in agriculture to take precautions. ryan: good afternoon. we are starting to feel the effects of the cold weather coming into play as the warm air comes in. now starting to feel it as the winter blows up. we have springlike temperatures and it is starting to feel like spring has come early. that is not the case and places like nurseries are making adjustments. >> roll this out and put it over our second ones here. ryan: chris is demonstrating what she will do to protect her plans from a cold. she owns a nursery in the oakland hills. the frost advisory is causing her to take precautions to protect some of the things she sells. >> any new growth on plants you should protect. it is naturally tender because it is new. ryan: new growth has been a common theme for her customers recently.

she says the warm weather has forced some into thinking spring has come early and therefore people have brought plants that do not do well in the cold. >> we have this warm spell. i think people have been buying these things and then we are getting this frost morning right after this shift. ryan: she advises people to wait weeks before planting plants. frost may be bad news for people with those plants but good news for local wineries. >> frost during dormancy, we want that. we want them to go all the way to bed. it puts them to bed, the frost. ryan: nikki says the frost is going to help her plants stay dormant until later in the spring and will help their growth long-term. she says a small percentage will die in frost, but not enough to worry. nikki: because of the current state, we are probably going to take as a loss whenever a crop

does damage. ryan: the nerve-racking part is what happens in the next two weeks and she does not want to see a rapid fluctuation of temperatures. nikki: next week, it will get to 70 degrees again and go back down to 50 again, so those temp fluctuations aren't great. we will see more bud break. so we'll keep an eye on it. ryan: so some good news and some bad news when it comes to the temperatures this week. the winery says it is unusual to see brian growth this time of year. they hope that spring is better for them. meanwhile, if you are planning your spring early, place in oakland says it is best to wait for maybe the and to start plan ting. ryan curry, abc7news. larry: mother nature is confusing the vines with the cold and heat.

passed. zach: she says they are going to work to do the best count possible. the county says the information not only gives them an idea of the total population of those experiencing homelessness, it also helps them understand what they call subpopulations. adults experience homelessness? how many veterans? families anti-seniors and other populations? zach: information they hope can be to change. >> hopefully this will be used by regional decision-makers to allocate resources, as well as coordinate services across the community. zach: services she says cannot come soon enough. >> we need better places for people to go that are homeless. zach: in the south bay, zach fuentes. larry: in the east bay, a new private-public partnership could help the homeless. a construction company is moving forward with converting an office building in san pablo.

light, but the foundation and walls will be reused to save money. >> we have to rewire everything and re-plum everything. there is a bit of work to be done. leslie: as for the outside of the building, this vacant parking lot would be converted into a barbecue and recreation era, a residence garden, a dog park, all among the possibilities, making this a vast improvement over an abandoned -- construction will begin this summer with residents moving in fall 2023. the county is eyeing more vacant office buildings for similar conversion projects, to house the homeless. in san pablo, leslie brinkley, abc7news. larry: a five-day sweep to get firearms out of the hands of those legally barred from possessing them is being called a major success. . attorney general rob bonta says officers seized 114 fire ants interested 13 people during the

kristen: at&t is shutting down its 3g network and moving to 5g today. mobile devices from cell phones to home alarm systems will no longer work. amy hollyfield found out the move to 5g will impact bus

stops. amy: when will that bus rumbling down the street make to your stop? you might not find that information for a while. you will have to shut them off temporarily, because they use 3g modems, which at&t is getting rid of. it has ordered new and improved signs for the new 5g modems, and is working to upgrade to 4g modems to keep the signs going until the new ones arrive. you can still find arrival information on your phone. this will not impact the information you get online. 5g means faster internet speeds. our communications lecture at cal state east bay says lifestyle change she would give as a pause. professor: there have been a lot of promises about how quicker or faster internet speed will make everything better in change everything. it does seem like peple are working more, trying to multitask, doing more things at once.

i am not convinced these technological innovations have made our lives better. amy: as we see the impact on public transportation in san francisco, he encourages students to ask questions about the bigger picture. professor: innovation can be exciting so in that sense, there is some excitement. i encourage them to look at the politics in which it is happening, right? this is happening without their input. tcompanies are making decision about the speeds we should be at. i think they shouldbe be aware of the power dynamics that shape these decisions. amy: it has 50 -- 650 signs impacted by the decision to go to 5g. amy hollyfield, abc7news, san francisco. larry: joining me is a senior reporter to talk more about the move away from 3g. aside from what we just saw with the community if they are, what is the significance for the rest of us as companies move away from 3g? maggie: well, there are some

people who have 3g phones, so that certainly impacts them. you know, there are some verbal parts of the country where there really is not 4g service. you know, those folks are definitely impacted. you know, we heard about the buses, but some alarm systems still work on 3g, particularly the ones -- the fallen and i can't get up. larry: yes. it maggie: thanks ed -- yeah, so it could impact a significant number of people. at&t says 1% of their customer base, which does not sound like money, but that is still thousands of customers. larry: is the expectation here that other cell phone companies will do the same thing? that would dramatically impact more people. maggie: yes, and actually, they are a moving problem, the 3g spectrum, so i believe t-mobile

and its sprint network are moving later this year toward the end o the spring, and verizon says able over tire 3g by the end of the year, so all the major carriers are moving all 3g. larry: i was thinking about this the other day because i have an older ipad i was looking at. is that going to be a glorified paperweight for me? maggie: well, you will still have access to wi-fi, so any device that you could have that is 3g-enabled and does not have 4g, you know, if it has a wi-fi chip, that will still work for you, but yeah, i mean, basically, the cell phone companies cannot really maintain all the generations sort of of wireless technology. i mean, years ago they required -- retired 2g networks and now they have another generation of technology coming out so they are wrote -- retiring 3g. so this will be an ongoing trend

throughout probably our lifetime , in terms of our wireless devices. larry: we have to keep buying new devices to keep up with changing g's. [laughter] i think the premise here is that 5g is better than 4g and 4g is better than 3g. is that actually the case? maggie: i mean, it is. with each generation of technology, if you think about your own probably use of -- usage of your cell phone, you probably do a lot more with your phone that' s4g than you ever did with 3g and certainly to jake. i mean, back and the day with 2g phones, people were not accessing the internet. 3g ushered in that area and, you know, even then, it was rudimentary, right? so we got a little bit faster with 4g and now i think we have all become accustomed to, i mean, i could sit there and have my kids watch an entire show on the phone while we are waiting for a doctor visit or something, and that is largely thanks to 4g

technology, so things are just going to keep getting faster and continue to improve. really, 5g is not just about speed. it is about ushering in new technologies like a.i. technology and just doing lal kiinds of different things we have not dreamed of yet. larry: can get into the metaverse using 3g, right? [laughter] maggie: no. larry: you have to step it off. all right. thank you very much. i appreciate your time. maggie: thanks. kristen: snow in the sierra and bay area. up next with the forecast. larry: celebrating a specialtwos-day,

30's everywhere else. what does that mean? freezing cold conditions with so many spring plants earlier than they should be. delicate along with our pipes so we need to take a care of them everywhere but the bay shoreline and over into the mountains, everywhere in purple, 2:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. is a seven hour window every night for frosty and freezing. your average low in the north bay is 39. 27, 28, 20 9, 31, finally back to average sunday, east bay valleys at 31, 29, 31, 32, and look at this. the south bay, temperature 45, normally flirting with freezing, 35, 33 degrees, but here is the kicker. the last time we had a temperature below 40 degrees in san francisco, five years ago. january 6, 2017. here are the temperatures and i put the record below them. you can see even record cold temperatures possible in san francisco through friday, saturday morning.

u.s. more independent and making it easier to move toward a clean energy future and create jobs. gov. newsom: this is a game changer in terms of changing the way we produce and consume energy. liz: one of the investments the president announced is 35 million dollars in funding for materials, a mining company that offers -- operates a facility in mountain pass in san bernardino county. they believe with these investments, by 2025, every year they will provide the material for 500,000 electric vehicles. in the newsroom, liz kreutz. kristen: do could have thousands of dollars worth of gadgets in the closet or drawer. the demand

i think the woman's team brought more revenue than the men's team. larry: it is not even close. the irony here is that the women's team, making less money, is so much better, if you want to do apples to apples comparison with the u.s. men's team. it is constantly changing coaches and barely able to qualify for world cup sand that sort of thing. this team just destroys everybody and they deserve all the money they can get. mike: it is the same argument they tried to turn on the wnba, because they don't make much money compared to the nba. they will not get paid as well. it is kind of interesting to see how that was working on the olympic level versus something with the nba level. larry: wnba is a money loser, but i'm sure the u.s. women's soccer team is more profitable than you would expect on the basketball side for sure. mike: love seeing it. larry: this is one of my favorite subjects. kristen: [laughter] larry: we have talked about a

a lot of companies are trying to go, "come on back." dan: i think there is a new normal. i am not sure how it will pan out over time. they have changed the way people work and think about it. it may not revert to the way it was before entirely, but i think as times goes on and things normalize, we will get closer to the traditional kind of workflow. remember, all this works well for employees when it is a sellers market, employees have the advantage. when the economy turns and it is a different situation, that may change. larry: mike, how much would you miss kristen and myself if you only got to see us three days a week instead of five? mike: i mean, i have been with kristen for 16 years here. you have been a couple of months. kristen: [laughter] larry: who are you more tired of? dan: [laughter]

larry: it is not easy being a bear, not one that weighs 500 pounds and breaks and for food. it hangs a tank, as he is dubbed, made his way into 40 south lake tahoe homes and is causing significant damage. there is a controversy of what to do with him. how do they capture him? gloria rodriguez worked with

state officials and the nonprofit group to relocate him. gloria: they call him hank the tank. this 500 pound black bear is known for breaking into dozens of homes in south lake tahoe and eating people's food. >> this is what we call a severely habituated bear, meaning it has lost all fear of people and is associating people with food. gloria: check out the social media posed from the south lake tahoe police department on friday. it says hank broke into a secure home, managing to squeeze inside through a small window. officers banging on the outside of the home until he popped out a back door. the post says officers stayed in the area to make sure he left without damaging other houses. >> anytime you have a 500-pound wild animal breaking into homes, while they are there, it is a danger. thankfully, nobody has been hurt, but it is not a good
