the new law caps the amount that you can deduct in state and local income, sales and property taxes at $10,000. now, that would limit and would disproportionately affect homeowners in high tax states such as new york and california, san francisco and los angeles counties are currently not allowing property tax pre payments. and starbucks is debuting a new drink, the black and white mocha has white and dark chocolate espresso with cream and a stripe of chocolate sequins down the middle. it will only be available until the end of next week. >> a short term. chocolate sequins. nice. apple is facing at least nine class action lawsuits over purposely slowing down older iphones. the suit claims the company fraudulently hid from consumers the practice of slowing down the performance of certain iphones. apple says software updates make

move into the new year, finally a significant chance of rain and there will be some snow in the sierra as well, but that does not come until next wednesday. so we will still have some dry weather over the next several days. new year's day looks good, more clouds moving in, san francisco reaching into the upper 50s. we will be ringing in the new year with temperatures in the mid 40s there and inland areas down into the lower 40s in some spots. more clouds and, look at that, finally some showers. i will be tracking all of that for you. mike is still saying there is some light traffic right now. >> light traffic now and likely through the end of the year, the beginning of next, we will see how things go. right now, today, great, green all over the bay, nothing really slowing you down, even the altamonte pass. we will talk about travel times in a second. a little fog in the north bay hasn't been a problem for the last couple days, this morning still no problems reported by chp. the rails show a smooth flow of
