angeles, forcing hundreds of truckers to sleep in their rigs. the grapevine is, of course, a major route for travelers driving between northern and southern california, but it is frequently closed in winter, due to blinding snow and black ice. well, winter weather is also causing a big headache for drivers in the sierra. this is what it looked like in reno last night. authorities responded to dozens of accidents caused by snow and ice. no one was seriously hurt, but it's awfully cold up there this morning. we are continuing to watch the temperatures. ktvu meteorologist rosemary orozco will have your full forecast in a few minutes. you can also check temperatures in our area on our website, ktvu.com. just go to the weather section. take a look at that. it is playoff time. we're counting down to this evening's big playoff game between the 49ers and the green bay packers. kickoff is scheduled for just after 5:00. we've been showing you a live picture from outside of candlestick park throughout today's mornings on 2. you're

electrical lines and cut branches away from power lines. 49ers say beware of scalpers selling tickets on the streets or outside of candlestick park. tickets bought from unsecure and urch official websites may be fake. they say don't pay with cash. use a credit card and verify the location of seats on a seating chart. keep in mind that a single ticket online costs between $130 to about $700. but of course, you can watch the game right here on channel 2 for the price of free. our coverage begins with playoff playbook at 4:00 p.m. today, followed by fox pregame show at 4:30. kickoff is just after 5:00. after the game, sports director mark ybanez hosts the point after. about an hour from now, a public memorial is being held for the petaluma teenager who died after a new year's eve party in south lake tahoe. the body of 19-year-old alyssa byrne was found behind a snowbank last week. she had attended a music festival and police believe she may have been trying to get back to her hotel. the cause of her death is still

under investigation, but the coroner's office found no sign of foul play. today's memorial is at the casa grande high school gym in pet lumina at 10:00. the byrne family is asking everyone to wear pink, alyssa's favorite color. one person died and another is hospitalized after a one-car crash in the south bay overnight. it happened just after 1:30 this morning in the northbound lanes of interstate 880 near the brokaw road off ramp in san jose. the two men were inside a chevy. it veered off the road and smashed into a rock and the passenger of that chevy was ejected. he died at the scene. the driver went to the hospital with serious injuries. two northbound lanes were shut down for a short time, but the accident did not cause a backup. investigators are still checking to see if alcohol was a factor in that crash. new this morning, a shutdown toll booth that caused major traffic delays last week is expected to reopen on monday. officials expect the toll booth to open sometime between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

a lane had been closed since early january as part of a cost- cutting move, but ended up with traffic being backed up to interstate 880 up to 20 minutes for drivers. bart says it will be working on track replacements in the transbay tube today and tomorrow. it is all part of ongoing maintenance work. delays could begin at about 8:00 tonight and they would continue through tomorrow. some passengers may even be required to transfer trains to complete their trip. . good morning to you. bundle up, it's a cold one out there. live look over oakland, mostly clear skies. that flag, not blowing a bit. very calm out there and cold. temperatures sinking back into the upper 20s, low 30s in some of our inland areas this morning. now that the sun has been up for just shy of a couple hours, looks like temperatures will begin to rebound and are slowly creeping up in some cases. 34 degrees in concord.

. good morning to you on this saturday. isn't that a beautiful shot, cool, quiet day in the forecast for the bay area. conservatives and watch dog groups are building up a campaign against a $50.7 billion package to help with superstorm sandy relief. they are complaining while a lot of that money will go towards recovery efforts, some of it will go to projects unrelated to that storm. the campaign comes as lawmakers are hoping to pass funding in the next few weeks. time now, 9:13. and flu season is in full force. that has many people here in the bay area trying to avoid getting sick. anna coinman joins us with more on how many states are impacted by the flu so far and why it could get worse.

anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, brian. the flu epidemic is twofold, driven by a stronger than normal strain and the dreaded flu season started one month early this year, in december. and in some places around the country report vaccine shortages, the silver lining is flu season may have already peaked in some places, like the south. the centers for disease control, or cdc, estimates the flu kills about 24,000 people in an average year, mostly the very old or very young, and says the majority of americans this year are seeing outbreaks in their community as a normal occurrence. flu was widespread in 47 states last week, six more than the week before. the only states according to the cdc without widespread flu were california, mississippi, and hawaii. the advice from physicians, wash your hands as often as possible. avoid touching your face. and keep your germs to yourself. don't go to work and don't let your kids go to school. boston has been hit particularly hard. the death toll from flu has now hit six, 18 in all of massachusetts. state public health officials

say the flu's early arrival and its fierce symptoms this season have been causing patients to flood emergency rooms and a rush on vaccine. this year, nearly 130 million doses of flu vaccine have been distributed and so far, at least 112 million have been used. officials say supplies are running low in some places, but vaccine is still available. and new york state governor andrew cuomo this morning, declaring a statewide public health emergency, strongly encouraging everyone to get the flu vaccine. since the swine flu epidemic in 2009, vaccination rates have increased in the u.s., but more than half of americans have yet to get the vaccine this year. back to you. >> anna, thank you so much for that report. well, police in southern california are checking surveillance cameras, as they try to identify two men who took 14 nordstrom rack employees hostage near los angeles. police say the men stabbed one of the employees and sexually assaulted another late thursday night, before escaping during a three-hour standoff with

police. a store spokeswoman says the gunmen did commit a robbery, but wouldn't say what was stolen. and a judge in colorado is giving the suspected gunman in the colorado theater masacre more time before he has to enter a plea. james holmes now has two months to decide how he wants to plead to charges that he killed 12 people and injured nearly 60 others last july. an insanity defense is one possibility. we are learning more about the gun control group launched by former congresswoman gabrielle giffords. yesterday, her husband mark kelly outlined the goals of their political action committee, including blocking mentally ill people from buying guns. the group has already raised $1 million in contributions. and vice president joe biden may turn to new technology to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands. >> we have a problem beyond, quote, the masacres, the

columbines, the auroras, connecticut. 10,000 people a year are gunned down in our cities. >> biden met with the video game industry representatives yesterday at the white house. his gun violence task force is expected to present recommendations to the president next week. biden is interested in technology that would keep a weapon from being fired by anyone other than the person who bought it. while gamers say they favor more technology, they also say they believe it's up to individuals and families to curb gun violence. >> i really think it's more of a parenting thing. the main thing when i was growing up as a kid, my parents always said make sure you know the difference between reality and virtual. >> the gaming industry's violent crimes particularly among the young has fallen since the early 1990s, while at the same time video games have increased in popularity. new this morning, the costs to go to a uc campus won't likely go up next year. uc administrators announced yesterday that governor jerry

brown's budget plan appears to provide enough funding to avoid an increase. brown's budget proposal includes an additional $250 million for the uc system. the amount is less than the uc requested, but probably enough to avoid an increase. meanwhile, the brentwood school district may expand a program that puts ipads in elementary schools. officials are looking at expanding the program out to all the district's fourth graders. fourth grade was selected because of larger class sizes and the ability for students to learn independently. officials will hold a meeting january 23rd at edna middle school to determine interest level. mcdonald's is trying something new with its happy meals in england. the fast food chain is pledging to distribute 15 million books instead of toys over the next two years. the program is called the happy readers initiative. the books are nonfiction and explore things like space and marine life. no word if the concept plans to spread to the u.s. starting on march 1st, the government will stop mailing social security checks.

all money is going to be transferred electronically. the treasury department says the move is to cut down costs. about 5 million americans receive social security or disability payments through the mail. but in march, everything will be through direct deposit or a treasury-issued debit card. new lending rules could make it harder for some prospective buyers to get a mortgage. new guidelines limit the percentage of a borrower's income that can be used to pay a mortgage. under the new rules, a total of a monthly mortgage payment and all other monthly debt payments cannot exceed 43% of a borrower's monthly gross income. the new guidelines are not scheduled to take effect until next year, but they may have an immediate effect on some lenders' policies. hostess has chosen a buyer for some of its most popular breads. the bankrupt bakery chain says flowers foods will now buy six of its bread brands, including wonder bread. the deal is valued at about $390 million. hostess is also expected to announce buyers for its dessert

cakes, including the iconic twinkie, in the coming weeks. this morning, the u.s. department of homeland security is warning computer users to disable their java software. the warning comes after hackers appeared to have found a flaw in java's coding that allows malicious software to be installed. java is a widely used tech natural language used to write internet applications and other software. java is owned by oracle. a recent e. coli outbreak in canada has been linked to a san francisco-based lettuce company. officials say the lettuce was distributed by fresh point, inc. to several kfc and taco bell restaurants in canada. so far, the outbreak has resulted in 26 e. coli ses in december and january. lottery fever is heating up across the nation. that's because the winnings for the mega millions jackpot just got a whole lot bigger. no one matched all six numbers in last night's drawing. that means tuesday night's drawing is worth an estimated $62 million. in california, only one person matched all five numbers, minus

the mega number. here's a quick look at those winning numbers, just in case. they are 24, 29, 30, 34, 56, and the mega number is 1. again, the next drawing date is on tuesday. thousands of people are expected to rush the stores to buy lottery tickets. crime fighting has taken on a whole new look in petaluma. >> best looking outfit i've seen all day! >> we'll introduce you to a real life superhero and let you know why he decided to get out to protect the community. . >> outside our doors, the sun is shining and we are slowly defrosting. what you can expect for your saturday, coming up. ♪
