allow for extra time for this wet and rainy commute. we also mentioned we have someone that just tweeted me here on my twitter account there is a car flipped over on loan tree by eastbound 4. traffic westbound is backed up to hill crest. at the bay bridge toll plaza, that is looking at the backup here that is about a 15-20 minute delay before you make it on the bridge. at 6:20 let's go to steve. all right thank you very much, sal. our system is roaring right on through. the good news it's not sticking around very long. it is producing bursts of moderate to heavy rain. most of that from fremont to palo alto. it's clear parts of the north bay. snow continues to really stack up here in the sierra which is good. we'll have more of that coming up in a second. the system moving through now right about from fremont milpitas toward san jose cupertino, mountain view, that seems to be the burst of the

cal tran has been out here doing their part to try to keep the roads scraped down to the asphalt. no sooner do they pass through the wind and snow covers the roadway back up. even under these crazy conditions they've been able to keep this roadway open thus far. i tell you as we look around, we obviously need this snow. the ski resorts need this snow. who would think it would take until the end of february to get the conditions up here. i think my right eyelash is frozen. >> real quick snow level you've heard before? >> reporter: it was starting to switch around apple gate. that is right at 2,000 feet. and we are hering reports around grass valley. they have canceled schools in the school district there. >> thank you very much. brian is up there at donner summit again. where we are getting much needed snow. >> that is good news. 6:23. why target stores are removing
