will re-open. there could be ice out there on the roads this morning because temperatures in some areas are dipping below freezing. >> or very close. and we could also see rain and maybe even snow on christmas, and there's a phrase for that, i think, and our very own bob redell is on snow patrol in the mountains. a chance we could see flakes there? >> reporter: merry christmas to you, and we have been out here waiting and the possibility is here, because up on highway 17 of the santa cruz mountains around 2,000 feet, and we are getting close to freezing and with the light rains expected to come in, you could see a light dusting of snow. we do have snow in the bay area, just not here. you have to go a couple thousand feet higher, and there is the elevation of around 4,200 feet at the lake observatorobservato.

not unusual when the conditions are right, that's usually when you will find it here in the bay area. in petaluma yesterday we saw pea-sized hail coming down when the temperatures dropped during the rain, and here was something else, very unusual to see in california, and we're talking about a twister or tornado. this was in the central valley in the el dorado county area, and people saw this around 4:00 yesterday afternoon, from el dorado hills to folsom lake, and it caused damage, and fortunately nobody was hurt. again, a very unusual tornado to strike in northern california. reporting live here on the summit and highway 17, bob redell, "today in the bay." merry christmas right back at you, bob. happening for the first time in nearly 40 years, there's a full moon on christmas day. that's a live look in san francisco. a beautiful look, clear skies.

it's the last full moon of the year, and it's called the full cold moon because it owccurs at the start of winter. nasa says there will not be another full moon on christmas until 2034. >> i think the last full moon on christmas day was 1977, like you mentioned, so a very long time. >> incredible. >> it's a cold morning out there. >> yeah. >> nice to stay indoors and look out at the moon. >> the warriors game going on today and so many people may want to stay inside. starting out at 30 degrees in the north bay, freezing temperatures and spots with fog and that could create black ice and very slippery travel as you head out. as we take a look at the golden gate bridge, not a lot of people out, and in the south bay, 36 degrees, and had to scrape frost off of the windshield this morning before heading out. highs today in the low 50s and a

few scattered showers later this morning. >> that's going to do it for us right now, and we hope the see dusting or so of snow, and here is that full cold moon. see you in 25 minutes. >> merry christmas. merry christmas. we'll help you celebrate a day of family, friends, lub and laughter. kindness and compassion. music and merriment as we wish you the happiest of holidays today friday, december 25th, 2015. >> and good morning everyone. we do wish you the happiest of holidays, merry christmas. thanks for joining us of it merry christmas to you guys too. >> merry christmas, guys. >> is first christmas with wrangler. >> it is. >> we have our christmas set out here. might roast marshmallows. >> might get toasted later. >> coming up we'll talk about the true spirit of the season with cardinal dolan. >> we'll wlook at the fup ways we shared
