5:09 pm
an unsettled period in the five day forecast i'm going to show you more rain. i'll see you back here in a few minutes? as bill illuded to, the snow has caused traffic headaches for those heading to the mountains for the weekend. >> reporter: let's start with the good news and check out the snow we're talking about. boreal just opening full time today. so they are expecting a lot of skiers coming up this weekend. however if you're going to be coming up here, given what the emergency crews saw today was a number of people unprepared for this they are downright concerned with what's to come tonight and this weekend. from spinning tires, to big back ups. to digging out. >> you see what mess we got up here. >> reporter: this is a look at sierra snow problems friday that the highway patrol says could be directly blamed on people being unprepared for the weather. >> i didn't expect this much.

5:11 pm
the sun was up. temperatures rose a little bit and that started to do this. melt a lot of this snow. you can see ice crystals starting to form as the temperatures are dropping up here and that is essentially going to create according to the highway patrol black ice. ice you can't even see and they say given the speed they saw people driving today and the snow, they are concerned that people have not figured out these are winter conditions. if you're one of those heading to the sierra, be prepared. apparently a lot of people didn't get that message. back to you. >> all right, thank you mike. if you grabbed your winter coat this morning you weren't alone. it was a cold day in the bay area. the temperatures plunged with highs in the low 60s in most areas and overnight temperatures dropped below freezing in some parts. >> we haven't turned the heat on once but tonight will probably be the first time and we'll probably have knocks and bumps but we'll see if the furnace still works, we don't know yet. >> pg & e say s if you are
