their pictures are beautiful, but i do not envy how cold it is out there. here you saw kari show us the radar, and there were a couple showers passing along 280, that's compactly what the traffic maps are picking up as well. i have the radar turned on which means you could see some wet roads but most of that is starting to dry out further into the interior valleys, so as that rain moves out, we should be seeing some dry roads. i did just see this crash pop up far down in the south bay, so i'll go check that out, see what that's all about. aside from that, i don't have any accidents, but there are great bridge drive times. westbound 80 toward the bay bridge eight minutes. westbound 82 toward the san mateo bridge 12 minutes and westbound 84 toward the dumbarton bridge about ten minutes, so there are some perks to working on a holiday morning and one of the top ones is no traffic. i'll send it back to you. to a follow-up to a story we brought you as breaking news saturday night at 11:00. solvesomee called it in around0 saturday night. it happened at a home on clyda
