yesterday and was cancelled and the airline called her. so far today, they've equaled the number here but a major, major factor on whether planes will be able to take off and land back east as the press conference is taking place right now, as they determine whether the conditions are good enough to take off and land. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 n ews. >> obviously, when we hear the results of that press c onference, we'll bring them to the viewers, of course. in oakland, a suspected dui driver is in jail after leading police on a chase across the city just hours ago. police say they saw drivers swerving on -- a driver swerving on highway 80 around 3:30 near lakeshore and park. the driver was pulled over but police say he refused to roll down his window. that's when he sped off. >> our pursuit ensued on multiple freeways all within the oakland area on the 580 freeway. 24 and 980.

if you go up to the ticket window right now, people are g etting on their flights. what airlines have been doing is calling people at home to t ell -- and they are telling them don't come. your flight has been delayed. that has not been a problem h ere. that's how we're getting around it. if you are coming here, chances are you are gonna get out. but the afternoon flights look better than the morning ones. >> okay. thank you, kraig. 8:32. the snowy roads back east p roving to be a driving challenge as far south as raleigh, north carolina this morning. check out this car heading down a highway during the morning commute. it loses control and slides for about ten seconds before coming to a stop. luckily it didn't hit anything and was able to head on down the road. anyone who has driven back east in the snow knows what that is like. we used to cut bags of kitty litter in the back of the car to provide more traction and that would help a little bit. you can find the latest weather conditions at ktvu.com. 8:33. well, the antioch city council
