7:02 am
happen? i'm going to show you what happened out here this morning. there are people standing around here like it's christmas morning. here's what we found, not exactly sure whether this is frost or snow on the rooftops down there, but it certainly looks good up here this morning. but last night, we did get some snow flurries. a woman got out her camera and sent us some video from last night. there was even a little bit of a traffic jam, people trying to get up here to see this amazing sight. the last time it snowed in san francisco was way back in 1976. so even just a little bit, even the thought of it was quite a thrill. >> we drove up from your house and we were just waiting for it to start coming. and as we stepped out of the car, it started snowing harder. it stopped for a couple seconds
7:03 am
then and another burst of snow came down. it was fun seeing it in san francisco because it's something that we never see. >> reporter: i can remember snow in the east bay from recent seasons, but san francisco, that's just a totally different deal. you can't see it because it's behind my cameraman, but i can tell you there are people walking around here with cameras. we're told there is one woman who actually spent the night up here hoping she would wake up in a winter wonderland. it's not exactly that, but it sure is cold and people are excited here. >> we were talking about that jackknifed big rig in oakland and temperatures that are low enough for ice on the roads, as you made your way up to twin peaks, how were the roads. >> reporter: when we came up, we didn't really see any ice or any
7:04 am
frost out. we got the assignment that if we did see it, we would shoot it. it certainly was cold, but it wasn't icy, certainly in different parts, i know i came in from the east bay where i live and i can tell you that my car was totally frosted over and it was a different story over there, so i guess it kind of depends where you are. >> we'll be checking in with you in a few minutes to see if you get a couple more flakes. rob will tell us if that is going to happen today if you slept through it last night. >> i also want to show you early this morning as i came here to the station in san jose. this is the video from just outside the doorstep here in san jose. and if you look closely, there's a few wet snowflakes mixed in. that was part of some heavier showers that came rolling off the santa cruz mountains dropping some snow. as we go to the radar, you can see things have dried out at
7:05 am
least inland, you can see on the inland side of the santa cruz mountains, you can see some showers here on the approach, a little bit more snow on the way and you can see some of that snow mixing in with probably some rain here, close to 1,500 feet, just off the coast there of half moon bay, and very cold air dropping down from north to south. look at our temperatures this morning. and christy pointed it out, in the east bay and the north bay, we're seeing 20s and 30s this morning. in fact the connector to interstate 80 has been shut down due to ice. 35 in san jose, 38 in san san francisco, new record low in oakland, 32 degrees. so between now and 10:00 this morning, we will have icy roads, that is the bigger concern this morning for the north and east bay valleys, still a chance for a few flurries this morning, isolated chance this afternoon and all signs point to an even
