where fans who skipped christmas dinner to watch a rematch of last year's nba fi welcome back. we're looking at oracle arena. fans had a chance to watch the nba finals last night and they were not disappointed. lebron james and his cleveland cavaliers were beaten again. it was a holiday treat for all warrior fans but especially for one group of kids. "today in the bay" shows us why it was much bigger than just going to a basketball game.

>> reporter: they are the bay area gift that keeps on giving. it's like fans wearing their favorite holiday sweaters and even celebrities like drake decided to watch the golden state warriors take on lebron an the cavs. >> i came to the finals and i couldn't take him. it's as close as i will get from last year. >> reporter: and for a group of kids sitting in the front row, the game meant a lot more. >> they are no longer homeless thanks to a community service out of san francisco, which provides housing to thousands of families every year. for all of them, it's their first time watching a warriors game in person. >> they knew it was coming but didn't really know what to expect because most of them haven't had this experience before. >> reporter: not only did they get a chance to watch their favorite players -- they also

received gifts from them before the game. >> awesome. the coolest thing. it's not even funny. this is just awesome. >> reporter: a group of kids that have already overcome the odds. they have a simple christmas day message. >> keep on doing what you're doing. i want you guys to just keep with it. >> reporter: nbc bay area news. and did you get to see it? a rare christmas full moon. it's called the full cold moon because it occurs at the beginning of winter. nasa says there won't be another o 40 years. in the northern parts of sierra nevada, they now have two feet of fresh snow, thanks to recent storms. all of the snow over the past few days created whiteout conditions on i-80, briefly

closing all lanes. but the storm made dreams of a white christmas a reality. >> this is the first time in california. it's really amazing. it's really beautiful. >> the latest storm also is helping skiers at tahoe resort which have been getting steady snowfall for the past week. it's a great time to escape the bay area and go to tahoe and enjoy all of that fresh powder. but i still can't get over it's warmer on the east coast. >> yes, it is. even this morning in austin, it's 75 degrees right now. >> wow. >> and in new york city, it's about 12 degrees warmer than here than in san jose. >> wow. >> and in sierra, that's where you need to go because none of the ski resorts are seeing any. we have about 90 inches on the ground in parts of the sierra. it slowly warms up as we go through the day. here's a look at the noontime

temperatures across the bay area. san francisco is at 50 degrees. tri-valley, 40 degrees. 49 in the peninsula and the south bay. as you go through the afternoon hours, high temperatures in the low 50s in the south bay. peninsula, 54 degrees and the east bay warming up to 57 degrees. it will feel much nicer than where we are starting right now. let's drop in on the north bay. in petaluma, it's 29 degrees and in santa rosa it's 31. in san rafael, 30 degrees. so freezing temperatures in many of the low-lying areas. and today, once again, highs in the low to mid-50s. mostly sunny skies and a light wind and then we're back down to freezing later on tonight in santa rosa. a low of 31 degrees. and also in parts of the tri-valley, livermore, dipping down to 30 degrees tonight. as we go into the next couple of days, our next storm system approaches and moves in, bringing scattered showers starting tomorrow afternoon for the north bay.

and then that starts to move from north to south by 6:30 tomorrow evening. you could have some showers coming down and i know a lot of people are hitting the roads and as we go away from this christmas holiday into next week, we head back to work and we have wet weather, at least very early in the morning. the rain futurecast shows we have the possibility of about a tenth of an inch in some spots but this rain is much lighter than the storm systems we've had previously and then high pressure moves in and will block more weather systems from moving our way. drier weather as the temperatures warm up heading into next week. so this holiday weekend, we will today have highs in the low to mid-50s and then into tomorrow, low 50s in some spots, like the north bay in san francisco where the rain moves in earlier. and then we all start out the morning with some showers on monday with those highs reaching into the lower 50s. rain likely late saturday into early monday. in the meantime, we'll have dry

weather throughout the day today as you catch some of the after christmas sales and then we have to bundle it up again for the early morning church services and then throughout the afternoon. we'll start to track that rain moving in from north to south. i'll keep you up to date on that. we'll get an update on the sierra, how much rain we've had and how that compares to normal a little bit later. kira? >> kari, thanks. coming up, from the north pole to the streets of oakland, the special way that two men are spreading christmas cheer in their old neighborhood.

take us down a path. that path, i don't know where it's going to end or how it's going to go but it turned out being the genesis of something that i -- it's a body of work that i am so incredibly proud of. >> reporter: this year, they will show up at a whole variety of holiday events handing out thousands of presents and even more smiles. >> there you go! >> reporter: the biggest ones, though, always reserved for knucklehead and chaz. >> not only am i here, i'm back. i'm back with joy and happiness and passion and energy and bringing everything i've got to giving back. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you! thank you very much! >> you got just a glimpse there of knucklehead's dancing skills. head over to my facebook page,
