slowing, north 87, a crack at kirkner. it's moved over to the shoulder but that was enough to kick off the slower drive. not for a few more minutes kicking off early because of that. cam nor guadalupe parkway heading into downtown. we'll zoom out to the maps and show you the rest of the silicon valley. all the drivers from to 101 and 280 from san francisco and the south bay. over on the east bay we have a little slowing kicking in again for the tri valley typical about this time of day. same for hayward southbound 880 as you're coming off that castro valley y. new crash on 8th street just off of 880, typical slowing through hayward and san leandro. the bulk of the slowing, 680 through the same stretch just south of 580. move your map north toward the bay bridge and the north bay. concord, walnut creek interchange, 24, 680, toward the

bay bridge, easy flow of traffic as we look at the bay bridge toll plaza, we have the metering lyghts on so slow down as you have to. none of these folks won the lottery was they're going to work. >> as we did as well. >> we showed up. >> cob leer, nothing says love on valentine's day like a good whack to the face with a pillow. >> very instructional. thank you very much, mike. >> depends on what you're into, i guess. this morning there are three winning tickets in the fifth largest lottery prize in u.s. history. but not here. >> no. no one was celebrating. we're all back today. that means a half a billion dollars split three ways but not in the state of california. the lucky tickets were sold in texas, north carolina, and puerto rico. that jackpot was more than $564 million. >> here are the winning numbers. 11, 13, 25, 39, 54, then the powerball number of 19. >> you say it so soothingly. >> maybe i could be a bingo

"wire" magazine has a bright idea of taking publicly available health care data about california daycares and looking specifically at the daycares that were associated with some of the biggest companies in high tech. "wire" lists both the highest rates of vaccination and some of the lowest by company name.

daycares associated with scientific companies had some of the highest rates of vaccinations. now the data's online right now. you can run a search for your own child's daycare. i tweeted out a link on twitter. i found my own child's daycare right away. according to the data from the california department of public health, daycares associated with oracle, gilead sciences, genentech all have 100% compliance. and electronic arts and yahoo! are very close. just into our newsroom this morning expedia is buying orbitz. we continue to see consolidation here. expedia bought travelocity about a month ago, and already owns hot wire and hotels.com. just out of curiosity, sam and laura, i ran a couple searches through that search engine for next weekend. i did it through a budget travel site including expedia and orbitz. i came up with the same rate no matter what. so less competition but i think the hotels have long caught onto

this and you'll see pretty much the same price no matter what you use. >> thank you very much. >> still like to dig for these deals if you can. starting today a san francisco school is putting itself in a tech time-out. >> it's kind of a new national thing. for the next three days students at convent and stute hall will voluntarily be shutting off their electronic devices. that school is the first the bay area and the third in the entire state to take part in a national movement called the tech time-out academic challenge. student who is opt in are given a pledge sheet and parents are also encouraged to help out by turning off the electronics at home as well. a massive fire burning at the malibu mansion of pierce brosnan. the flames broke out in the garage of his home just before 10:00 last night. some 50 firefighters were able to keep most of the damage contained to the garage. brosnan was home at the time but was not hurt. no word on a cause.

007, pierce brosnan one of the famous bonds. this is no time for movies, though. not today. not this weekend. we take a live look outside this morning at the bay bridge. >> not for 50 shades? >> well, okay, maybe an exception. >> you know what it is, ski week for a lot of kids, trying to head up to tahoe. >> some good conditions compared to where we started the year. the new bond girl 50 years old. got to love that. you've got to love that. 6:18 now. had to tie it into that "50 shades of grey." big, big promotion for that movie on every single channel. you can't escape christian gray. temperatures are looking pretty comfortable. up in tahoe, it's still cold enough on the high peaks above 6,500 feet for that snowmaking and technology has improved. in addition to that, we also accumulated quite a bit of snowfall since a the last seven days because that storm that came through here.

the highest totals came in from the highest peaks, most of which were above 7,500 feet. this is what we're working with at squaw valley and alpine meadow where is they're making the snow and they picked up 26 inches of packed powder in the last seven days. they've got 45 at squaw and 49 at alpine meadows. if you are headed up there, you won't be needing the chains this weekend but looking good for this weekend. a lot of that snow might be melting as we head throughout the next week. we're still tracking a slight chance for rain over the course of the next ten days. i'm really focusing on the 22nd of the month. 47 degrees in tri valley right now, at 51, good morning, san francisco, and 68 degrees is the forecast high at lunchtime. at lunchtime they'll be in the upper sixty, rounding out the day with highs in the mid to upper 70s all across the board. wine country looking good for this weekend. temperatures are going to continue to warm up through valentine's day. we're looking towards really warm temperatures here but down in southern california they'll be in the 90s.

secretary of defense. that vote happening on capitol hill today. it does look likely. he came out of committee with a unanimous vote from all the democrats and republicans there. if, in fact, he becomes the head of the pentagon, then he will be in charge of this war that the president wants to expand. he wants to get authorization from congress if necessary to send ground troops into syria, into iraq, to go after isis. that's what's got lawmakers split here. republicans say sure, and he may need more authority to do that because they need to give him all the tools necessary to win this war. many democrats are concerned that it could turn into more than just special forces here and there's a prolonged ground presence by the u.s. troops and they want to make sure that this is crafted in a way to prevent that. a three-year limit. they're fine with that. but they don't like the vague lanl about the ground troops. so we're expecting some debate about this over the next few weeks. earliest possible vote will
