to head out especially on a holiday when a lot of people are going to be taking the day off. we can see what's going on across the region. this is not a big storm and actually a part of a bigger storm that's staying to the north of us. let me talk about something that is just crazy this time of year, or any time of year, all of this purple, that's heavy snow and it's moving through louisiana. i was think being when i lived there, i didn't even have a decent coat and now they're seeing all of this heavy snow tomorrow as mardi gras or would have been mardi gras. temperatures in the teens and single digits. look at how widespread this cold is and we're seeing temperatures in dallas right now 8 degrees. i mean t is just frigid, and this is not just a one-time thing. this cold is going to stay ther. area, we're starting out this morning with some light showers.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in santa clara county looking into what's behind this shortage that's now shutting down some of these sites. kris in >> reporter: yes, we're talking shortages but listen to what happened here in santa clara county over the weekend. the county had to give away 300

doses because people didn't show up for their appointments. those appointments are hard to come by. so the county had already thought out and set aside for health care workers and people 65 and up those shots. they're going to expire, the county put out the call via twitter elderly resident 65 and up show up and put out a note to any county worker who could show up before they expired so no dose was wasted. san francisco delivered more than 151,000 vaccinations by the way, and nearly half of the over 65 population has at least one dose. but nowry 22nd, because the health department is not getting enough doses. the city college site will reopen on friday, but that's only for second doses. the head of the san francisco emergency management team echoed mayor london breed's frustration. >> we got a hit this week with

really a very low allocation meaning that we can't continue our operations. >> reporter: now meanwhile, tomorrow the mass vaccination site at the oakland coliseum will open up with the goal of vaccinating 6,000 people a day. that site is a partnership with the federal government, so you might be asking yourself how is it that one mass vaccination site has to shut down and another mass vaccination site is opening up around the same time. because it is a federal partnership we believe their vaccination doses are coming from a different source, that is what the governor said. he said whatever was coming to the oakland coliseum would be an additive that is in addition to what the state is expecting this week. in santa clara county, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a lot of people hoping to get vaccine, kris, thank you. the we want to give you a closer look how california is doing distributing the vaccines. according to new data from the state health department

california received more than 8 million of those doses, some of them are still being shipped and about 75% of them, talking about just under 6 million there have actually been administered, a little more than half of all vaccine recipients are seniors 65 and older. people 18 to 49 are second followed by people 50 to 64. of course most of the people in those groups are front line workers. there's a lot to keep track of, so to cut through some of the confusion, nbc launched a new website called plan your vaccine. it tells you how, where, and when to get your covid vaccine and interactive map to show you the closest vaccination sites. head to planyourvaccine tonight. students living in residents call at uc berkeley no longer have to remain in their rooms as of midnight tonight. they will be leave for exercise between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

but students now in isolation or quarantine have to remain indoors for the remainder of their lockdowns. the school starting to see a drop in covid cases. the giant ferris wheel in golden gate park could be spinning for at least another four years. san francisco's rec.s and parks department looking at keeping the popular attraction but the plan is getting some pushback from environmental groups and residents who live nearby. the ferris wheel has been halted since november and it will remain closed until san francisco has s released from the most restrictive covid tier. want to get out and about? what about to the tahoe area? as we see our showers here, they've had snow over the weekend there. yep, it's been coming down, at least saturday morning it was. i took a trip up i-80 right here past castle peak, better take your chains or your snow tires. the chp is warning folks to be prepared if they're heading up or down the mountain. check out much of the rest of the country, however, being slammed with this historic winter ice storm.

it's really bad. texas seeing pretty rare snow right now. the entire state of texas was under a winter storm watch or warning over the weekend. in st. louis, it is so cold there, there are actually ice floes down the mississippi river right now. that's a tough go for those folks back there, kari. >> yes, i've seen a lot of pictures on social media, people in texas and louisiana, seeing snow coming down, it's icy and we've had a little bit of winter weather of course in our upper elevations, some light snow, winter weather advisories for the sierra if you're headed that way. it's just been pretty crazy to see all of this bright purple, that is heavy snow that is falling in louisiana, moving over toward northern mississippi and will temperatures have been well below freezing. we've even seen some temperatures below zero, as we take a look at the upper plains and parts of the midwest.

so you'll be looking out for that today and we'll continue to follow it. mike it's not that cold here but thankfully we don't have any of that kind of weather. >> we're staying well clear of temperatures but we are looking at wet roadways so that is our local concern. folks are going at speed as you see from the green sensors so as we zoom over here toward the altamont and toward vasco road as well both areas have the highlighted green, remember slicker roadways on the road weather index. under 20 minutes out of brentwood and byron toward 580. it's a holiday for a lot of businesses so lighter traffic throughout. no problems getting toward the bay bridge. under fire. still ahead on "today in the bay," the controversial valentine's day card shared by lapd officers that's reportedly led to a department investigation. the impeachment trial ended over the weekend, that means we can put our focus back on the

white house. we'll have the latest from washington coming up. betty reid soskin moved to oakland as a child and the oldest park ranger in the united states at 99 years old. she works at rosie the riveter/world war ii home front national historic park. she was interviewed in august of last year about her thoughts about the current political climate. you can find that interview searching her name on nbcbayarea.com. we salute you, miss soskin.

right now at 5:41, if you're going to be enjoying the day off or heading to the park with the kids who also have the day off we'll see our morning start, temperatures in the fairfield in the mid to upper 50s. a lot of clouds but some afternoon peeks of sunshine. we'll talk about what's ahead for the rest of our microclimates coming up in a few minutes. a few more minutes for the tow truck headed to oakland, 580 and golf links road. across the bay slicker roadways, the pavement glistens and that mist kicks up but the tail lights are moving smoothly toward 101. >> thanks, mike.

it's 5:42. the l.a. police department launching an internal investigation after allegations that officers shared a valentine's day image that mocked the death of george floyd. the photo was attached with the caption that read "you take my breath away." according to the "l.a. times" an officer filed a complaint about the image and will be interviewed by officials today. the department will also be looking into whether the image was created by a police employee. the police chief told "the times" the claims were substantiated. in a tweet the department said in part it will have zero tolerance for this type of behavior. as the push to recall governor gavin newsom seems to turn the corner, campaigners are getting a financial boost. the state republican party over the weekend gave the campaign $125,000. organizers recently said that they've already gathered the minimum number of signatures to qualify the measure, with four weeks to go to submit them. but those signatures must still be verified. recent polls have suggested somewhere around 35% of californians would vote to

recall newsom. it is 5:43. the second impeachment trial for donald trump is over. the former president was found not guilty. scott mcgrew, not the end of the former president's legal challenges. >> yes, laura, we've detailed it in the past some of the possible accusations that he may have to face ahead related to his taxes and accusations from women as well. and several republicans hoping to end the impeachment trial said perhaps he should be tried in criminal court for the attack on the capitol instead. but in the trial, where democrats were hoping to convict him, they did not, though in the final vote, seven republicans voted to conflict, six more than in the first trial, and the most senators to vote to convict a member of their own party in all of american history. a dangerous situation, president trump created one. >> our constitution and our

country is more important than any one person. i voted to convict president trump because he is guilty. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said trump was guilty as well, after he voted to acquit the former president. in mcconnell's reasoning, trump was unquestionably guilty of the charges, but the charges should not have been brought in the first place. >> there's no question, none that president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. no question about it. but in this case, the question is moot, because former president trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction. >> mcconnell is really splitting hairs here. trump was impeached while he was still president. the primary person behind the delay of the trial pushing it

past the end of trump's term was mitch mcconnell himself. but one way or the other that wraps up the trump impeachment. there's still little squabbles to be talked about, lindsey graham spoke somehow of impeaching the vice president for her support of black lives matter but most of washington has moved on back to paying attention to the white house. we'll get back to covering the president of the united states. mr. biden will have a new push for i had stimulus plan hoping for but not counting on republican support as well as new gun laws as we mark the third anniversary of the deadliest school shooting in history at marjory stoneman douglas in 2018. we are talking about what's happening at the white house. find me on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. 5:46. the fans will be able to join friends and family honoring the life of scesily tyson, died
