picking up sandbags, this is over on oak port. she says she wants to keep that rain water away from her foundation. she was using potting soil but she knows those sandbags are certainly more reliable. >> i live on an inclined lot, so the water picks up a lot of steam as it runs down my driveway and sidewalk. >> there are several places around the bay area where you can find some free sandbags and free sand. if you want to look at a list of locations, all you have to do is go to our website at ktvu.com, and there's a section, just click on that. a lot of snow is expected to fall in the sierra this weekend. let's give you a live look at the south lake tahoe area. snow began to fall there overnight. the higher elevations could see up to a foot of snow from this storm, and the snow won't let up until sunday night. winds also expected to be a little bit of a problem. meantime caltrans is working overtime to make sure the roads are clear for drivers.

businesses across the country are working to claim today as a shopping day that's focused on them. ktvu channel 2 reporter allie rasmus joins us live from the newsroom to show us how businesses are all prepping for small business saturday today. >> reporter: take for example toys, they are usually on everyone's holiday shopping list, and you can find just about any type of toy you're looking for at a big box store, and if not definitely online. we talked to some of the people who work at an independently owned toy store earlier this week, and they told us what they can offer their customers. >> free gift wrapping is one of the ways independent retailers are trying to differentiate themselves from the big box stores, particularly on small business saturday. we are standing inside sweet dreams toy store in orinda near orinda theater square, and this is sonntag woodson, who is the assistant manager for the store. how busy are you expecting it to be on small business saturday, and do people really come in because it's a national event? >> i definitely think that it's going to be something that

people are going to come out to. you know, it's not going to be the crazy sales, but it's going to be, you know, more of a hometown feel. we're going to help you out, find the right present and we're going to make it look beautiful for you. >> you offer free gift wrapping for the first two items people buy, and it's a way to offer something a little different along with your area of conspiracy. sometimes it's -- expertise. sometimes it's hard to know what a 5-year-old boy might want for christmas. >> every kid's going to be different but there's always going to be the classics and the go-toes and that's what we're ready to go for. we're here to get you in and out and most importantly get the right gift. >> and a survey from the national federation of independent businesses and american express found that in 2012 consumers taking part in small business saturday found about 5.5 billion at local shops and retailers. in 2013 that number grew to 5.7

billion. so smaller retailers tell us that anecdotally it seems like small business saturday is gaining momentum and the numbers from that survey seem to corroborate that. live in the newsroom, allie rasmus ktvu news. the city of oakland also hoping that free parking today is going to get more people to shop in downtown oakland. every saturday through new year's day drivers can park for free at the four city owned lots and at street meters. oakland mayor elect says the downtown businesses could use the boost this year, especially in the wake of recent vandalism. city officials say they still have the to keep the flow of shoppers steady. time limits are still going to be enforced at the meters lots and garages. several businesses in san francisco are cleaning up damage after protesters smashed windows during black friday. the protests came days after a grand jury decision not to charge a ferguson police officer for the shooting death

of 18-year-old michael brown. this protest started with a peaceful march. a small group of demonstrators became destructive. a group of employees at a radio shack say they were inside when protesters started to smash the windows with rocks. >> it was scary. it was a very scary situation just because it happened really quickly. it was overwhelming. >> the radio shack employees say some of the protesters stole electronics inside the store. one officer suffered cuts on his face during the protests. now after a demonstrator threw a bottle at the police car. san francisco mayor ed lee issued a statement. it says in part i respect the rights of those who peacefully protest to have their voices heard about the serious events unfolding in ferguson, missouri. meaningful demonstrations for the purpose of vandalism, looting, and harming police officers disrespect the memory of michael brown and diminish

the voices we need to hear right now. this behavior will not be tolerated and those responsible will be held accountable and prosecuted. that incident follows three nights of protests in oakland. protesters there shut down freeways, damaged and looted stores. several protesters are also facing misdemeanor charges for a demonstration that shut down a b.a.r.t. station. ten people chained themselves to each other and to the inside of two b.a.r.t. trains at the west oakland station. the protest stopped service between san francisco and oakland for 90 minutes. eventually police brought in firefighters who helped to disconnect the bar that one of the protesters was attached to. >> marginnize peel. it does feel pretty targeted when the majority of people that the police kill are black and brown. >> protesters are facing

charges of trespassing and interfering with railway operations. the disruption was a huge headache for some of the thousands of people trying to get to and from san francisco. there was back up bus service, but even with that backup, hundreds had to wait an hour or more at the embarcadero station. some passengers did sympathize with the protesters but felt that shutting down a b.a.r.t. system was not the best way to get their point across. >> i don't think this is a way. you could go about it another route. you're putting all these people at a disadvantage, you know. find some other way. >> we're not in ferguson. shutting down a b.a.r.t. station, what relationship does that have to police brutality. nothing. >> b.a.r.t. says the shutdown did cause lingering delays throughout the system. 9:10. we want to show you a picture, a really powerful picture that's gone viral. check it out. this is a picture of a police officer in a portland oregon. it was taken november 25th. >> by a freelance photographer. he says he saw the boy with tears in his eyes right there,

and he decided to follow him into the crowd. now police sergeant brett barnum started hugging 12-year- old devonte heart. >> he has a sign that says free hugs. he went over to him and said can i get one, and then that's what led to this picture which is pretty amazing. i was reading more about this young man there, and they said that he was actually adopted when he was 4 years old. he had a really tough history of abuse and neglect and disabilities and all that, and yet his -- the two women who adopted him also have five other children and they said he has been amazing. he actually sent his 11th and 12th birthday working for charity. that's how he wanted to spend his birthday. he wanted to inspire people. >> very powerful image that we probably will continue to see as we wrap up 2014. >> yeah, absolutely. toys and clothes aren't the only deals you can find during this big holiday shopping weekend. what our travel expert said

about the low prices you can find when it comes to traveling around the holiday season. >> and here's a live look, just a few feet away from us. this is a segment i've been waiting for. we are joined by the world food sandwich champion for a look at how to put together a pretty awesome kale, bacon tomato sandwich. stay with us. this is a yummy segment coming up. >> i'm on my way. bulldog: [yawn]

good morning, and welcome back to mornings on 2. i'm mike mibach. here are the top stories, several businesses in san francisco are cleaning up after protesters smashed windows during a busy black friday. that protest came days after a grand jury decision not to charge a ferguson police officer for the shooting death of 18-year-old michael brown. and it is one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. this time around it started earlier than ever. today is small business saturday and local shop owners

in the bay area are preparing for some big crowds. ktvu's allie rasmus checked in with some business owners, and coming up in just about a minute we'll have more on the deals you can find around the bay area. really the big story is the weather. rain expected across the bay area today and tomorrow. for more on that let's head over to rosemary who has that weekend forecast. >> you said people in the south bay, i heard the rain last night. then i walked out. i'm like, oh, not so bad. >> right! just breaks here and there right? >> yes. and getting out this morning, not bad at all. you can get out for a run, maybe you're going to do holiday shopping. we've got a nice break in the pattern at this point. giving you a live look there over across oakland into alameda and the east bay hills where we have mostly cloudy skies, a few breaks in the sky with sunshine pulling through for the afternoon. storm tracker still working but not too hard. it has led up quite a bit.

in the overnight hours we had the rain falling over the north bay. we woke up this morning with rain falling quite heavy at times over parts of the south bay, and right here the central bay didn't see a whole lot of rain with this first wave. now we do have more to come. we've got some more rain. it will be just spotty for today, so i think it will be still a good day to be outdoors, just keep that umbrella handy. as we get into the overnight hours, the second round is going to move in. the second half of your weekend will be soggy as well. we have a few scattered showers as you can see in and around novato. napa has reported anywhere from a third of an inch to a half inch. fairfield we've got a little bit of rain in your neighborhood as well. along i-80 it was a little slick. we also have fog this morning. be prepared if you are hitting the roads early. i've got rain falling, talked about it just a short time ago that over the santa cruz mountains we had more than an inch fall so far. so that's some great news. and as we get into the second half of the day, i think we'll

be partly cloudy with just hit or miss showers in the forecast. it's going to be a fairly nice day, we're getting beneficial rains and we'll also get breaks. we've got snow in the sierra, if you are traveling in this direction, there is a winter it weather advisory. it's lasting the entire weekend. it's going to be a little tough to get over the passes. make sure you have your chains as well or your snow tires. you're going to need them, i-80 as well as highway 50. when i come back we'll take a look at that futurecast model. great. a lot of people shopping out there for thanksgiving, black friday and now an important day for small businesses here in the bay area. >> these are always unique gifts and you get all this personal service and it helps out the businesses who want in on this black friday rush. >> early in the week i had a chance to visit a number of different small independently owned businesses and talk to them about what they're doing differently to attract customers. a lot of them were candid about

telling me we can't offer 50, 60, 70 percent off discounts, so they've gotten creative and they're focusing on different things they can offer their customers. take a look. >> these aren't necklaces or bracelets, these are actually fancy dog collars you can find at murphy's paw. it's on main street in pleasanton. they are gearing up for the holiday shopping season. you can tell by some of the christmas themed pet toys they have out on display. this is one of 30 businesses in pleasanton that have signed up for an event called shop small saturday. it's organized by american express and the goal is to get shoppers to go to these locally owned independent retailers to give them some business. dean is the owner of murphy's paw. what do you do differently to get people to come into your stores? >> we do a lot of raffles and drawings of gift cards to try to promote shopping here. so if you make a purchase, we enter you into a drawing. >> a way to say thank you to people for coming to shop here.

>> correct. >> you also said you want to show us over here you have some items that you provide that are different than what people can find at say the mall. >> yes, we do local and american made products. these beds are made by disabled veterans in florida, nice and plush. but that's the type of things that we do better than big box retailers could do. >> appeal to the conscientious shopper maybe. >> yes. thank you so much. another thing we have to point out because he's adorable, something you won't find at a big box store is a pet mascot. he's a 7-year-old new finland. he's 150 pounds, and he will be here on shop small saturday just like he is every day greeting customers, adding to that different personal experience shoppers can get coming to a locally owned independent retailer. >> get up. and turning this -- trending on twitter are the hashtag small business, shop small and of course small

business saturday. smaller retailers credit social media they say with helping them get the word out about small business saturday. i have to put out a disclaimer because one of the producers was asking me was that a rug or a dog, and yes. >> a dog. >> she was taking a nap. so he wasn't totally animated. >> very fierce guard dog. >> i think it is nice to see when communities, small towns or even the bigger towns come out and say you know what, we do want this main industry in our town. we do want to support you and we do want this kind of look just to kind of make a statement. you said conscientious right. >> that's what the shop owners told us, they said look i have a lot of repeat customers, we're on a first name basis. so whether there's a national campaign for shop small saturday or not, a lot of my customers come back because they want to support me. >> the best thing too is when i go in there i love the unique gifts that you don't find at the big box stores and when you give a gift to someone they remember those unique gifts.

not just that shirt or whatever. >> you don't have to buy everything in the mall. >> you can tell people the back story. hey, i got this at this shop on main street. >> best thing that you wanted to go back and grab if you weren't working? >> well, we mentioned this in one of my earlier hits, the bags that are made out of repurposed classic car upholstery, and they're made by an orinda school teacher. it was a unique item. for shoppers in colorado, black friday actually looked a little green. >> that's right. the legalization of recreational marijuana has opened the door to some pretty unique holiday bargains. more from denver on what some people are spending their money on this season. >> you can't find deals like this everywhere. >> for thousands of day after thanksgiving shoppers. >> when you're in front of a buffet of weed why not. >> green is the new black. >> in denver some of the longest lines and best sales. >> this is a cornucopia of

weed. >> were found of the pot shops. >> yeah, actually it probably literally is the best sale. >> it's a mad house. we've been busy all day. >> starting the early morning hours, shoppers like alexis hall. >> how much are you guys quarters regularly. >> stood in line for 45 minutes or more. >> $47. >> looking for that smoking hot deal. >> 50-inch for 219, come here get a quarter for 47 bucks so i'm saving about 30 bucks. >> you have to get high before you play on your best buy. >> marijuana dispensaries like medicine man say it's a new twist. >> a lot of people do need some stress relief. >> we knew we would be selling so much weed, such great deals and we would be so busy black friday became green friday. >> everyone's happy, everyone comes in happy, lease happy. >> and in the first year of legal recreational marijuana sales in colorado, shoppers are taking full advantage.

>> 50-dollar ounces, dollar cones, 2 for 1 joints. >> best day of the year for me today. >> that was mccray i did agator reporting from denver. for the second year in a row wal-mart has turned to children to come up with the retailer's top 20 toy lists. wal-mart representatives traveled to dallas to meet with hundreds of children ages 18 months to 12 years. the young toy experts were allowed to play with the hottest new toys from suppliers like hasboro, ma tell, spin master. >> it's really fun, and it's just heart warming to watch the kids play with the toys and see what are they really getting excited about. >> wal-mart says this year it appears as though children prefer toys that allowed them to be more creative. classics are also popular again with toy makers, refreshing retro toys giving them a modern day appeal. here's a list of some of the

toys. most young girls like the snow glow elsa doll. get better talking mobile cart and so cool machine and the barbie sisters camper. the young boys like the air storm fire trek bow, the air hogs rc zero gravity laser razor, and the hot wheels track builder total turbo takeover track set. boys and girls like the v tech kitty zoom smart watch. barbie is no longer the number one toy. the iconic doll is learning how to let it go. merchandise related to the disney movie frozen has taken barbie's top spot. frozen has proven to be the most successful animated film ever with nearly $1.3 billion in box office ticket sales. despite this icy takeover barbie's still hanging out at the top or near the top. she comes in at number 2. so today as we have said, it's small business saturday. yesterday's black friday did
