interstate 80 here in berkely. the weather wrecked havoc for the drivers during the evening commute. solo car spinouts, such as this one are common. the driver of this mercedes, says he was on the onramp, when another car cut him off. >> i hit the brakes and the car just spun around, and came right over the curve and the pole was already down. that's where the cones came from. i just slid. it was backwards. >> reporter: the highway patrol says rain, and the warn tires on the mercedes's tread are all factors. >> basically, the car would hydroplane on the water. >> reporter: took cover under umbrellas and wore their rain gear. still, these b.a.r.t. passengers say it was a tough day. >> the trains are packed.

zero. >> reporter: director of california cooperative snow survey's, frank gurke. we started the month with a snowpack just 19% of normal. a big storm followed, and boosted the snowpack to 36%. but since then, we've seen a slide. with central sierra snowpack now at 29% of normal for this date. even when this rain turns to snow, and boosts our snowpack in the coming days, it won't make much of a dent, and we'll need more. >> we have had very good marches, but we're down this low you may get a little relief, but certainly not anything that's going to bring things back up to normal. >> reporter: the statewide snowpack number right now, stapleds at 22% of normal.

so that's good. maybe an inch and a half, two inches. the santa cruz mountains got 2.5, 4 inches over the last few hours. just exactly what we need. friday is going to be another wet one, the weekend should dry out. >> so you some lightning tonight too. a flash of it. >> it was pouring at times. mark's here now. >> warriors. not a good night for the warriors. >> not at all. as far as basketball goes. not one of the bay area's prouder moments all around. cal and stanford get work in. the warriors streak snuffed out. first time since 1999, not a single warrior scored in double- digits, also the ball movement. pretty good here. david lee is back. 11 off the bench for him. when you shoot 35% from the floor, that's not going to work either. the bulls begin to own it from the 2nd quarter on. mike dunleavy, a former warrior working the baseline. he had 15 points in a starting

roll for chicago. the blowout begins. matter of fact, they win it by 20, as taj gibson, which you might call your high percentage shot. he had 21 to lead everyone. even warrior fans on the short end of things, as benny the ball, silly string a golden stater who showed up in the stands. also in the nba, the story means nothing. just a weird piece of video for a guy who probably needs to find a new shoe company. look at manu ginobili. the shoe blowout. a brand new shoe as a matter of fact. not this time, not on our court. that's how arizona responds to cal after the bears did up end them a few weeks ago in berkely, when the wildcats were number 1 in the nation. eric gordon, out of san jose, stole it. pretty much knew what to do with it too once he got down

not really the kind of performance from the stanford men that would lead you to believe they'll be reaching for any higher heights once the tournament hits. another dose of uninspired play down at asu. randall had 17. however, asu relies on carson.

that's a good idea. 26 points, and shooting 8 of 11 from the floor to do it. 76-64 asu winning it. it is just the first exhibition game of the cactus league, but one team looked ready for it, and that would be the a's. playing some late season form defense. look at josh redick. won the golden glove a couple of years ago, robbing michael morse. 10-5, your final. it's going to get a whole lot better than that for the giants. but for the a's, the just another day for them. >> redick makes that look so easy, doesn't he? thank you for choosing ktvu, channel 2 news. >> tune into the ktvu morning news before you head out tomorrow for the latest on the wet and windy weather.
