>> yeah. >> for some areas, the snow was not that great. 4, 6 in new york. long island, 2 feet. some areas in massachusetts, 2 feet. plymouth, hurricane conditions, 70-mile-an-hour winds. for some, this was a full-blown blizzard. i it see a photo coming out of providence on i-95. nobody was on the freeway. nobody. so other areas escaped it. others are still dealing with it and they will. so the blizzard for some continues to be in full-blown category but for others things are winding down. cloudy skies. breezy, light rain. santa cruz mountains, i think would get the most out of anybody. even that looks light. there is a lot of cloud cover here. not much in the way of rain. anything up there is high- based. san joaquin valley, fresno has had measurable amounts. 50 and 60s. mild due to a southeast breeze for some. 62 woodside is incredible. 60 for san mateo. that's because of that southeast breeze at sfo. mountain view and also san

jose's had an east-southeast so does half moon bay. cloudy today. drier air moves in. today, cloudy, maybe light rain. but it's mainly clouds. a little breezy at times. that's an east-southeast breeze. highs will be in the 60s. here's mr. sal castanedo. i've been listening but i haven't heard anything yet. anything change? >> we've had crashes but they haven't been super serious. we'll start off with the bay bridge toll plaza as we see the traffic is backed up for a 20 minute, 25-minute drive as you are sitting there in traffic. once you get on the bridge, it looks okay. no major problems. if you are driving onto other bridges around the bay, it looks okay. this is 8880 in oakland. you can see -- this is 880 in oakland. it's busy but not stop and go. northbound 280 a little bit slow. daly city as you drive up to 19th avenue. had a couple of earlier accidents there. a new crash on the peninsula southbound 101 at hillsdale and traffic is getting slow out of

burlingame heading down south just past highway 92. 7:03 back to the desk. developing news in san francisco's financial district where police are looking for thieves in a daring smash and grab. alex savidge is live at the wells fargo history museum where police say some valuable gold nuggets were stolen early this morning. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning. san francisco police wrapping up their investigation out here into this dramatic gold heist, a break-in at the wells fargo history museum which is right here across the street from us. it's on montgomery between sacramento and california if you are familiar with this area in the financial district, you can see people stopping to take pictures this morning. this crime has turned this museum into sort of a spectacle, people stopping to take pictures and check things out. let me show you what it looked like earlier this morning. when we got here, the suv used in the heist was still sitting inside of this museum.

at least three thieves we're tolds, they drove the suv through the front window of the place. >> they got out and that's when they stole gold nuggets historic artifacts on display inside the museum. there were actually security guards on hand at the time aid cording to -- according to san francisco police investigators. what's unclear is whether those, at least three robbers, were armed at the time they carried out the crime this morning. but san francisco police say what took place was the thieves ditched their suv inside of the museum and they got into another car that was waiting for outthem outside. they got away with the gold nuggets and the thieves are still on the run after a planned heist in san francisco. back to you. >> thank you. snow continues to fall along the northeast this

morning after a temporary travel ban. drivers are now allowed back on the roads in new york city and new jersey. buses and subways are also slowly beginning to get back to service. several inches have been falling every hour, especially in boston which has really been the hardest hit city so far. coming up at 7:30, we'll have a live report on how this storm is impacting air travelers nationwide. when millions of people were told to stay in their homes during the storm, many rushed to stock up on supplies at the stores. look at this store in boston. people were advised to stock up and not a lot left on the store shelves. it was a close call for two chp officers when something in the trunk of a patrol car exploded and burst into flames. the chp says one officer was driving east on the bay bridge out of san francisco, about 7:30 last night when he saw smoke. well he, pulled off the bridge

just in time. his patrol car burst into flames on the treasure island exit. a second chp officer rushed over to help out. that's when debris from the explosion hit him. as you can imagine, chp cars are filled with equipment and some of it could be hazardous. >> normally have flares, electronic equipment, modem, radios. as far as ammunition is concerned, i don't believe there was any ammunition in the trunk at the time. >> the chp says fortunately the officer only had minor injuries. that patrol car will be carefully checked out and examined to see if other patrol vehicles might other pose a danger. a marijuana grow operation worth $2.5 million found in benicia by solano county sheriff's detectives want to know who was behind it. was discovered last night

around 7:00 during the search of a building on east 2nd street. detectives found 30 mounds of processed of marijuana and plants. there were three rooms designed for growing. another room for drying. no one was in the building at the time when detectives got there but if you have any information, call police. happening now, hundreds of volunteers are starting a two- day search for homeless people in santa clara county. it's the homeless census, the federal government requires every two years. janine de la vega is live in san jose where she just talked to san jose's new mayor about the importance of the homeless count. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tori. in the last 20 minutes, volunteers left city teen ministries on oakland road and they are now out counting. the last time a count was done in santa clara county, they found out that the county has the largest chronic homeless population per capita in the

u.s. so is that changed? we'll find out. the u.s. department of housing and urban development requires that counties provide counts of the home also population every two years. in 2013, the report found there were approximately 7600 homeless people living in santa clara county. volunteers will collect such as age, gender, sexual orientation and race. they will be interviewing that, asking about barriers and finding employment, domestic violence, healthcare access and how many use government assistance. >> we know that the problem is bad. we know in many ways it's getting worse. we also know with the help of destination home, we have been able to house over 800 individuals who were the most chronically homeless in the last two years. there's certainly some good news but we know there's plenty more work done on. >> reporter: more than 300 volunteers have spread out doing the count all day today and tomorrow. results from the data will be

ready in early summer. there will be interesting findings. we'll let county leaders know where resources are needed the most. we'll catch up with one of the teams in the next hour that's counting and we'll bring that to you coming up at 8:00. back to you. 7:09. james jones knows what it is like to be homeless and says that's why he spends time with people in shelters. >> i'm grateful for everything i have been through. it made me into the man i am today. >> jones and his mother were in and out of homeless shelters, including this one, for the first 15 years of his life. he says that taught him to set goals and work hard to achieve them. >> you know, there were days where my friends would be like man, let's go here. let's party. let's drink this and smoke this. i'm like, no. i can't do that. i'm gonna go to the gym.

i've never seen somebody work very hard and not something good happen. >> he was not expected to play in the nfl. but look at that. in 2011 he earned a super bowl championship ring playing for the green bay packers. he says signing with oakland last march is a dream come true. shelter workers say jones visits off -- often and inspires adults and children to create their own dreams and then to work hard to make those dreams come true. well, stocks opened with big losses after a weaker-than- expected report on durable goods. computers, and appliance orders fell 3.5% in december. economists say that could be a sign the u.s. economic growth is slowing. companies including microsoft and caterpillar and dupont had disappointing earnings reports this morning. apple reports after the closing bell today. the dow down 273 right now. and the nasdaq getting the

biggest hit down 74 and that's 1.6% drop and the s&p is down 24. so it's been a little bit of a roller coaster but the markets were pretty inflated in the first place. >> yeah. what goes up, needs to come down. >> a buying opportunity. >> yeah, right. still ahead, it was a scary wakeup call this morning for people in one san jose duplex. look at this. in 20 minutes, why firefighters say those people should be lucky even though three cars were lost. he's now being called a person of interest in the so- called deflategate. up next, the person caught on surveillance video and what he did with the footballs that's raising suspicion. >> we still have a lot of slow traffic out there and the peak of the morning commute, you can see this is the guadalupe parkway, northbound, a lot of slowing getting into downtown san jose. we have very, very light rain out to the valley. we'll see if any of it makes it

here. all eyes are on the northeast for the blizzard. we have a lot of cloud cover. we'll see if there's any rain.

7:14. we're continuing to developing news from libya. that's where a terror group with ties to isis claims responsibility for a deadly attack at a luxury hotel. you can see smoke rising from the hotel in tripoli. it's popular with foreign tourists. a libyan security official says masked gunmen in bulletproof vests stormed the hotel killing five foreigners and three security guards. there are reports that two of the attackers were killed. authorities say the scene is now under control. we're getting word of a new online message reportedly from isis militants. in it, the group says that the japanese hostage and a jordanian pilot it holds have less than 24 hours to live.

the message demands the release of an iraqi woman sentenced to death in jordan for involvement in a 2005 terror attack that killed 60 people. in video released saturday, isis claimed it had executed another japanese journalist held captive by the group. a soldier held captive and released by the taliban will be charged with desertion from the u.s. army. according to fox news, two military sources have confirmed that sergeant bowe bergdahl's attorney has been given a charge sheet. it accuses him of desertion for leaving his post. bergdahl was captured by the taliban in 2009 after leaving his unit in afghanistan without permission. he was released last year as part of a prisoner exchange for five taliban members being held at guantanamo bay. if the charges stand, the case will proceed to a court marshal. 7:16. a 16-year-old girl is in police custody this morning after leading police on a wild chase

that ended in a fiery crash in san bruno. [ sirens ] >> now, witnesses took this video of the chase. police say it started when they tried to pull over the teenager for driving erratically. but it ended when she crashed into a popular pizza restaurant severing a gas line and that sparked a huge fire. the restaurant was not open at the time. there was no one inside. the teenaged driver walked away from the crash unharmed. witnesses say her demeanor seemed unusual. >> you can tell in her face when she was driving down. she was excited driving down, like this was something so exsided to be doing. >> we're so blessed no one was here. no one got hurt. >> the fire burned for more than an hour until pg&e crews could dig up the street and turn off the gas. the teenage teen driver was taken into custody and some say she gave two thumbs up from the back of the police car.

a san francisco pastor is stirring up controversy. the star of the catholic church in the richmond district will no longer allow girls to be altar servers at mess. according to the chronicle, the reverend says the honor is meant as a preparation to become a priest. and in the cluth church women are not ayou willed to be priests. some parents are upset by the decision but the archdiocese says it's up to the individual church to decide whether to allow altar girls. let's check in with sal. you are watching highway 4 and everything else. >> it's a little busy there as you drive from la fayette to oakland. if you want to see slow traffic, you've come to the right place. slowing again as you drive up to the tunnel. nothing unusual. it's not because of a crash. as i said that, i want to double check nothing has popped

up. it's slow. let's take a look at the commute on 80 westbound at the macarthur maze. slow traffic around the maze. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see the backup pretty steady. it's a 25, 30-minute delay. i want to mention that a crash in smast has traffic slow on the bay. if you are heading down the silicon valley out of san francisco, daly city, south city, use 280 instead of 101. let's go to steve. thank you, sir. >> you are welcome. >> good morning. we have cloudy skies. not much else. very mild on the lows for some. peninsula, south bay, fog at least for the most part has lifted. that's been with us for the longest, longest time. light rain was reported in the santa cruz mountains but not much. it looks like the system has stalled out or grown up, if you will. the low, 975 millibars. i think -- that's a whopper. that will cause all kinds of problems. blizzard conditions continue.

rhode island, new hampshire, massachusetts, i've seen two feet of snow not far from boston. i-25 is a ghost town coming out of providence. new york city was on the western edge, they did not get as much. la guardia almost had a foot. so i mean the warnings were justified. back home, we do have a dry start and it looks like a try ending to 2015 january. the only opportunity for rain would be today and it looks very weak. i don't think we'll get any rain in san francisco. if we do, i doubt it gets more than .01. that would probably be the extreme. so far zero, we've never had in san francisco a dry january in 166 years of recordkeeping. last year was the driest at .06 in 2013, .49. january has not been kind the last three years for us for rain. some of the rainfall returns. it's high-based of it's not reaching the ground. cloudy, mild for some. you can see there's some rain. you get the darker green out to

fresno, accumulated to .10. 63 sfo, redwood city, mountain view, hayward, 63. it's just really warm for some. not too bad for others. upper 40s from alamo out to antioch and brentwood. 55 san ramon. that's because they are getting a southeast breeze. half moon bay south wind. even makes it into san francisco. it's not that strong but that's why many of the lows are in the 60s. the water temps are 58. try air moving into las vegas. southern california, we'll have a cloudy day. this system is weakening. it might give us something. the higher elevations, highs today, 60s for everybody all the way up to lake county. some of that fog burned off sooner and lifted. 60s, upper 60s to near 70. starting off at 63. wouldn't take much to get to 67, 689. after tomorrow, it looks like back to mostly sunny and warmer as we go into your weekend.

>> there it is. yep. all right. thank you, steve. 7:21. well, did he do it? the nfl may be closing in on who deflated those game baums used in the afc championship game according to fox sports, the nfl has video of a locker room attendant taking the patriots' game balls out of the referee's locker room before the title game. the video shows him taking the balls into another room where they may have been deflated before they were taken onto the field. fox sports says the attendant has been interviewed by the league and i heard they are still a few weeks away from getting the results or finishing this investigation. >> that's who will fall on the sword. >> we'll see what they come one. it's a crash. it killed a young woman out jogging last night. coming up, what neighbors are

say as neighbor police accuse the vehicles of street case racing.

again? give them something special. gather around the world's best chicken and home-style sides for a dinner everyone will get excited about. kfc.

the lodi police department detonated a pipe bomb and another device in an suv parked at a shopping center. it started yesterday when police responded to a shoplifting call at a walmart. the suspect was detained and police searched her car. that's when they found the devices in the passenger seat. police say both were carefully made and ready to be detonated. police in san pablo are investigating two facets of a violent armed rob roy caught on store surveillance cameras.

police are look searching for these two robbers. they hit the bonfair market last wednesday. on their way out, one of the robbers shot and critically injured the clerk, who is the owner's nephew. the owner says what really bothers him is the responding police officers didn't bother to offer first aid to the wounded clerk but instead took photos of him. the san pablo police department says it's looking into the incident. >> he was laying on the ground asking for help. they did not help him. they were standing there and taking piths. >> we will look into it and reach out to the family and whatever we can do, we will do. >> the police says this case is their primary focus. they are doing everything they can to get the gunmen off the streets. the owner of the store is offering a $10,000 reyard from his own pocket to help catch

those robbers. two berkeley dollar stores yank sodas off their shelves. why the business owners say it's the result of a recent election that left them no choice. we're live in east san jose, where a jogger was struck and killed by a car that police believe was engaging in street racing. we'll tell you what we know about the victim and the two men charged with her death. still pretty busy out there for the morning commute, especially in some of the roots across the bay like the richmond bridge. slow traffic coming out of richmond. a lot of cloud cover. but not much else. could be some very light rain. we'll see if this is it for january. don't pin your hopes on it too much.

a . 7:30. you are looking at a spot where a young woman's life was cut short yesterday. she was out for a jog. police say two men who they believe were likely racing crashed into her and killed her. tara moriarty is there. coming up in minutes, she will tell us why people who live in the area say the tragedy does not surprise them. good morning. welcome back to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell. >> i'm dave clash. we're checking your weather and traffic. steve has your forecast. not too bad. >> i actually stepped outside before you did.

it's cloudy out there. sharon in mountain view said it's balmy out there. it is. now, it looks like some radar returns are trying to pop up here around santa cruz mountains. had a couple of reports. it looks like portolo valley and mountain view is one city. if there's any rain, it will be light. this is our only bet for month for many. santa rosa had light rain parts of lake county earlier this month. this will be it for many other locations. there is not a lot but there is a little bit here. i think it would favor areas to the peninsula, san jose. 50s and 60s. 63 sfo. redwood city, 63. mountain view, 62. hayward, 63. it's a really warm pattern because of an east-southeast breeze coming up there. there's not a lot here but this is our only opportunity for any rain. cloudy, mild, light rain, mainly, the peninsula, south bay, breezy at times. that's out of the east- southeast.

mild on the temps. 60s with the cloud cover. sal, a couple of issues but nothing big. >> nothing too big. we to have slow traffic and that's what everyone expecteds on -- expects on a tuesday. you can see the traffic on 80 westbound is going to be a little bit slow. i'm doing this report at an airport. that was an announcement. westbound traffic is doing a little bit slow from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. if you are driving from the bay bridge toll plaza, you can see the traffic will be slow as you drive from the macarthur maze to the metering lights and the toll plaza. no major problems. and if you are driving on on -- on 101, you still have the slow traffic. i wouldn't use 101. police in san jose have arrested two men involved in a horrifying crash that left a woman who was out for a jog

dead. investigators believe the drivers were street racing when the jogger was hit and killed. tara moriarty joining us live now. you are at the scene and you have more on the safety concerns out there being raised. >> reporter: that's light. the speed limit -- that's right. the speed limit is 30 miles an hour. but neighbors say typically people go between 50 and 90 miles an hour. if we pan over here, you can see how fast people are going. the neighbors have complained. so police set up speed traps for a week or two but everybody slows down and everything goes back to normal. so the department of transportation and the city are supposed to be out here sometime this morning. they are gonna be replacing this guardrail that had initially been put up as a safety sort of barrier. you can see it's been ripped up out of the sidewalk during the crash. neighbors say that replacing this really isn't gonna do much good. relatives of 23-year-old karen say they received a phone call

from the coroner informing them that she was killed yesterday around noontime when she was pinned between the car on the left and the tree. witnesses say two men appeared to be racing each other, speeding west on yerba buena drive east of edenwood road when they lost control of their cars and veered to the right. >> this is our home. this is where we live. it's like a little piece of heaven. it's beautiful but the cars just, fast, back and forth, fast. they don't care. >> reporter: police say the two drivers 19-year-old gabriel basera and 24-year-old manuel have been looked on vehicular manslaughter charges. live from san jose, i'm tara moriarty, back to you. >> all right. thank you. 7:34. also new this morning in san jose, a scary wakeup call for people in one duplex.

a two-alarm fire started in a carport about 3:30 this morning. look at the three cars that were burned. this all happened on wayburn line. fire crews say fortunately the flames didn't spread to the duplex itself and no one was hurt. arson investigators are still looking for the cause. well, the northeast continues to get hit by a major storm this morning. boston has been the hardest hit area so far. but in areas like new york and new jersey, the storm was not as bad as expected. our reporter is live with more. is the city starting to get back to usual? >> reporter: i guess we can say that. this was the blizzard that was never. there was a travel ban put in place last night at 11:00, effectively shutting things

down. bottom line is, those historic snowfalls expected did not happen. around 7 inches in some places in manhattan. 10 inches in some others. that's about it. if you look behind me, this is midtown manhattan, this is usually bustling with business and it's really not. that's radio city music hall in the background. the plows were able to do their job all morning because they weren't the blizzard conditions they were expecting. the dashes are starting to come back out again. the travel ban lifted and people are about to take public transportation. a lot of people here i think will stay hunkered down. the worst of it, though, i gotta tell you is in long island, new york, the suv suburb the new york city. they are seeing 20 inches of snow and are seeing the blizzard conditions that you talked about in boston and in maine and in connecticut where they are seeing 2 feet of snow in some places and really experiencing the punch of this storm. here in new york and new jersey, just a few inches of snow and it looks like we got

spared. >> i have to tell you, i have a son who is a student at nyu. i know their classes were canceled. a lot of people feel maybe it a little bit of overkill for the mayor to do so much. if you think if you hadn't canceled off closed the city down, it probably would have been worse for the may ear. >> reporter: that's a good point. that's what a lot of reporters had to say to governor cuomo this morning. hey, you overreacted. to the mayor as well. the governor came out and said, listen, guys. better to be safe than sorry. he said, interesting point, because of the travel ban, they were able to bring in the plows and get the job done quicker and more efficiently and he says thats that helped the city bounce back. he says the travel ban was actually a benefit to helping the city bring everything back to normal quicker than what could have done. that's a more positive spin. if you look on twitter and

facebook, new york are taking out their steam the fact there was a travel ban for an historic blizzard that never really was. >> bryan, thank you. here in the bay area, hundreds of flights are expected to be impacted today. and most likely the rest of the week as well. we spoke to local airports. sfo has 85 cancellations so far today. airlines of both san jose and oakland have canceled all flights into boston, new york and new jersey. airlines have been rescheduling passengers on flights later in the week and without the dreaded additional fees. now, some passengers on a virgin atlantic flight in new york were stuck on the tarmac for six hours. this is an example why so many airlines were canceling flights. it was supposed to travel from j.f.k. to london. passengers waited on the plane until about midnight. many took to twitter saying they were not given anything to

eat or drink. passengers say they tried to get a hotel or stay with friends once they got off the plane but the road were closed. they were strand at the airport. virgin atlantic said the staff was doing everything they could to ensure the comfort of their passengers. a couple of stores in berkeley say a city tax on sugary drinks is making sodas too expensive to sell. so they pulled them off the shelves. one city councilmember says that could be a sign the tax is working. brian flores, you were in berkeley. what's the reaction to all of this? >> reporter: hi, dave. good morning to you. we're in front of the dollar tree store one of two locations in berkeley. you are right. according to store expect, the berkeley soda takes would make it too expensive to sell at the stores in berkeley. so instead of selling it, they decided to pull it from the shelfs. many proponents of the soda tax or measure d as it was known

during the election are taking notice. this was a picture taken by laurie capitelli. he writes -- >> reporter: i've been e- mailing back and forth with the vice president of dollar store and he says because of the tax they were no longer able to carry the drinks at the one- dollar price point. this is adding 6, 8 cents to the cost of soda, in other words making it closer to $2. >> i'm kind of am bive lent. you have to look after your -- ambivalent. you have to look at our kids. we should have a choice. >> reporter: now, while

proponents are applauding the move there's plenty of people who feel different. some feel like doing business in berkeley is doing enough. others say the government should not have a right on people's right to choose. a similar measure was not passed in san francisco. as we take it back out here line, you can't get soda at the dollar stores but you can still get juice and even get a 3.5- ounce rib eye steak for a dollar as well. all kidding aside, we've posted this on our facebook page. we are getting a lot of mixed reaction, strong reaction as well. if you want your voice heard, go on our facebook page. back to you. >> thank you. 7:41. well, the soda tax battle in san francisco may be far from over even though voters rejected it less than three months ago. according to the examiner, public health officials are keeping up their fight against

shoeing ay drinks. it's called the open truth. it features bus ads that take aim at the coke slogan, open happies in. this reads, what's so happy about diabetes? meantime, city officials say they are continuing talks to try to introduce legislation that won't need voter approval. 7:42. millions of people are happy to have access to their facebook and instagram accounts again. the outage affected a large poergts of the united states for about -- portion of the united states for about 40 minutes. users in australia, asia and the united kingdom reported having trouble getting on. facebook said it was an internal technical issue that caused the problem not an attack from outside of the company. however, lizard squad, a group notorious for attention-seeking antics online claimed responsibility for the outages. a french court is saying no to a couple's request to name

their daughter nutella. they wanted to name their baby after the chocolate and hazelnut spread but the judge said that would only lead to a lifetime of mockery for the child. just a few months ago another judge stopped from naming their couple the french word for strawberry. here are some banned names -- >> very create in. 7:43. the oakland raiders smacked with another class-action lawsuit. after the break, what one former cheerleader said she and her colleagues were forced to endure. some call it disruptive to the neighborhood. up next, pam cook will tell us why a plan to make a dangerous street safer has some neighbors seeing red. good morning. we're looking at a commute

where traffic is actually doing very well in some areas. but very slow in the south bay. we'll tell you a little bit more about the south bay commute coming up. you can call it dry or really dry. that's what it is. today is our only hope for any rain. we'll see if it will make it. some to the south but will it make it here? at subway, a great meal starts with a great sandwich on the new "simple 6 menu." with six of our best six-inch subs, like the tender turkey breast plus any bag of chips and a 21-ounce drink for just $6 every day.

many people are not happy about safety improvements because they come at a cost. the plan is to make changes to poling street in san francisco -- polk street in san francisco. the city's transportation agency wants to build a razed protected bike lane along polk and another one extending to broadway. the plan would add crosswalks, lights and other safety measures for pedestrians but the cost, it would eliminate about 170 parking spaces and reaction to that is mixed. >> businesses like mine that sells paint, sells lumber, you

can't carry it on the bus. you can't walk with it up the hills on either side of us. you need a car. >> you have two, three feet as a biker between cars and people usually going well over the speed limit down polk. a lot of cabbies pulling over and people double parked. you are soming through -- zooming through. >> now the bicycle coalition opposes the plan saying it would confuse drivers and it may make the area more dangerous. the mta has the final say and is expected to take a decision next month the other issue raised concern about delivery trucks. the plan may include a designated area so that those trucks don't block the roads and those bike lanes. so we'll see what happens. tori and dave? >> interesting to see how that all shakes out. let's check in with sal now. speaking of roads. how are we looking now? >> i would give it a c plus.

>> oh. >> not that bad. >> average. >> we we've certainly had failing commutes. let's take a look at what we have with the eastshore freeway, 44 minutes foy for this time of the moefern -- which for this time of the morning is becoming the norm. there are no major crashes along the way. taking a look at the bay bridge, you will see the traffic is going to be a little bit slow here obviously it's a 20, 25-minute delay. on the peninsula, i would still avoid hip 101 even though the crash has been cleared to the side. it was there. and traffic near hillsdale slowed. it's slow in palo alto. i would use 280 which is slower. i would say it's a better call than 101. let's go to steve in the weather center. all right. thank you. a very good morning for those of you on facebook or twitter, i just posted an article on an

ancient forest. clay. divers found it. they think it was one of the greatest finds ever. if you get a chance, you might want to read it. talks about things that were 10,000 years ago and why the forest disappeared. we do have cloudy skies. very, very, very light rain possible. i say possible. i don't think there's much there. for some this was a slam dunk in the northeast. for others, it was not that much. boston is getting hammered. new hampshire, connecticut, rhode island, long island had two feet of snow. new york city 4 to 11. la guardia had 11. over towards washington, d.c. and baltimore, not much and even parts of new jersey not that much. but i-95 coming on the ut of providence, it's been shut down. plymouth had blizzard conditions. 70-mile-an-hour winds. it still goes, i think the barometer bottomed out at 27.90 for those who follow it. it looks like -- unless something happens here today, january, 2015 will be the

driest ever and the first ever in san francisco without any rain. there's nothing that shows up here unless it's a .01 or something that sneaks in from fog or something like that the next couple of days. so far, zero. 2014 we thought would be the driest ever that was only .06. here we are one year later with drier with no rain at all. 2013 wasn't very kind at all. cloudy skies, breezy for some, especially out of the east- southeast, peninsula, and also south bay but boy are the lows warm. came up from mexico baja. you expect that. it looks like some rain is trying to fall. but if this is anything it's up in the santa cruz mountains. really it's just cloudy and mild. some rain has made it out to the valley. this system is shearing apart. 50s and 60s. 63, sfo. redwood city, i know mountain view is in there. hayward is in there. temperatures on the mild side. menlo park and 60 and woodside. 61 along with los altos hills. san mateo 62. for the end of january.

we're this warm in the lows. east and southeast breeze or southerly breeze. that's why it's so mild to warm. other ayas are cooler. the water temps are incredibly warm. half moon bay bay is at 58. cloud cover will be with us today. then we'll get a break tomorrow. it's a cloudy, mild forecast. a little breeze at times. out of the east-southeast until the low kicks out of here. that won't be until later tonight and tomorrow. 60s on the temps. low to mid. across the board. there's patchy fog. santa rosa says some. concord. a little bit. but nothing like sunday and monday that. was a cold, foggy pattern. upper 60s to near 70 for a few. even on the peninsula. and a little bit of patchy fog near daly city. partly cloudy into wednesday. thursday, maybe some low clouds and after that, it looks dry going into the weekend. so the system we thought might come up from the south today -- >> it's clear. >> but i don't think it will do much. >> all right, steve.

eight minutes before 8:00, a police chase ends with a firey crash destroying a pizzeria. the surprise account from witnesses about what led up to the crash and the teenaged driver's surprising reaction afterwards. we're starting to hear from the pilot of that single engine plane that made that emergency landing in the ocean. what he's crediting for saving his life.

president obama is in saudi arabia paying respects to the family after the death of king abdullah. president obama cut his visit to india short to stop in saudi arabia. he will meet with the new king, abdullah's brother.

people. he says he can't really talk about what happened during the flight until the faa has finished interviewing him. now, he was flying the plane to australia where it was supposed to be delivered to a new owner. that's amazing. seeing the video. >> yes. >> 7:56. counting the homeless in santa clara county. after the break, the effort underway right now by hundreds of volunteers and how their work is tied to money for the county. plus, cleanup work going on this morning after a daring early-morning heist in the middle of the san francisco financial district. we'll tell you how thieves used an suv to get inside of the wells fargo history museum and what they got away with -- coming up. good morning. we're looking at a commute that's still pretty heavy, especially if you are driving across the bay. these commutes here in san jose are also slow out of downtown into the west valley. cloudy skies, a few brinkles.

rain in the santa cruz mountains. this is a really weak system. there have been measurable amounts down here. fresno has .10 or more. so i've seen about/10 for some locations. it's really balmy and mild. 64 sfo. i mean, 63 redwood city, san jose 59. hayward, 63. 62 sunnyvale. 61 san jose state. saratoga. i mean it's really mild due to a southeast breeze. half moon bay, 13. mountain view, san jose. that's why it's so warm along with the cloud cover. at the end of the january, you get cloudy and mild conditions. light rain to the south. maybe a little bit here. more sprinkles or light rain than anything else. there's not a lot to the 60s on the temps. slow traffic but any major issues? >> we're looking at slow traffic but we haven't had that many issues. we've had a few. but the traffic is slow anyway. let's start off with a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, and you can see the traffic here is

still backed up to the maze. about a 20, 25-minute delay. also looking at 92 westbound highway 92 it's moderate. you will get to some slow traffic on the bayshore freeway. i do want to show you the south bay and san jose. we showed you 87 is very slow into downtown san jose. 280. >> 85 and 101 are 101 are slow. we don't have many reasons in the way of step -- in the way of accidents. but it's slow getting in that valley. now the developing news we've been following for you all morning. daring smash-and-grab theft of historic gold nuggets from the wells fargo museum in san francisco's financial district. alex savidge is live with the search for the thieves. this is a well-known area. it's kind of hard to imagine this happened. >> reporter: it happened in the early-morning hours. not a lot of people around, probably in this area. obviously a lot of people around now. everybody stopping to take a look here at the scene behind

us. you can see the front of the place here, the front entrance, the window smashed out here in this dramatic heist that was carried out. very early this morning. sometime after about 3:00 this morning is when it all happened. you can see crews doing the repair work through the wells fargo history museum. that's where this crime took place. at least three robbers according to police, they drove their suv right through the front window of this museum. this is a museum that houses all sorts of artifacts and memberrer billia for -- memorabilia for wells fargo. there was security on duty according to police. what's unclear if the thieves were armed at the time. they made their way inside the building and made their way over to the display cases and were able to steal a number of gold nuggets from those cases. we don't know exactly how much gold was taken. after that, the rockers then hopped -- robbers hopped into another waiting car outside.

they ditched the suv, that gm dr. suburban right there in the middle of the museum and took off. those thieves still on the run this morning. and people who work nearby are stunned by this break-in. >> that's nuts. that's nuts. i wouldn't imagine someone would drive through. i don't even know who would have the mind to do that. >> reporter: this museum houses all sorts of artifacts, items including the old wells fargo stage coach artwork and then all of that real gold from the gold rush air era -- gold rush era. this is the site of the bank that opened back in 1852. it's not a bank branch anymore. it's the wells fargo museum. they offer tours for people to come and look at the tours. a modern day gold heist took place and tori san francisco police still searching for at least three people involved in this crime. >> i would imagine it would not

be easy to sell those gold nuggets. it's a little like the fine wine, easy to identify, right? >> reporter: i think once the items pop up it would probably be pretty easy for police to track down the people trying to sec -- trying to sell them. >> you can't just post them on ebay. >> right. this is the third high- profile smash and grab crime submitted in san francisco in the last three months. just over a week ago, someone smashed a rented u-haul van in the front of a clothing store. the thieves made off with jackets and high-end clothing and then thieves drove a vehicle through the chanel store and grabbed purses before jumping back in the car and taking off. we're putting calls into police to see if they are connecting any connection between the

three times. snow continues to fall along the northeast corridor this morning after a temporary travel ban. drivers are now allowed back on the roads in new york city and new jersey. buses and subways are also slowly beginning to go back into service. several inches have been falling especially in boston which has been the heardest city city so far. coming up we'll have more on how the storm is impacting travelers nation wide including right here in the bay area. 8:06. it was a really close call for two chp officers when something in the trunk of a patrol car exploded. and it burst into flames. the chp says one officer was driving east on the bay bridge out of folks. this was about 7:30 last night when he saw smoke. he pulled off the bridge just in time. his patrol car bust into flames on the treasure island exit. a second chp officer ushed to help. and that's when the debris hit

him. some of the equipment could be hazardous. >> normally have flares, electronic equipment, modems, radios. and sometimes the officers will put their duty bags in the trunk well. but as far at ammunition, i don't believe there was any at in the trunk at the time. >> unfortunately, the chp officer only had minor injuries. the patrol car is gonna be checked out to the see if other patrol vehicles might also pose a danger. happening now, santa clara county is sending hund hundred of -- hundred of volunteers out to count the homeless. the volunteers are counting homeless people are in the -- how many homeless people are in the county and to find out why they ended up on the streets. >> reporter: we're here on king and story road. we saw a team of people. you can see them down the

street. this is volunteers. they are teamed up with homeless people and are looking for others live on the -- living on the street. they are counting them and taking down the information they provide. volunteers came to participate in the homeless census. the u.s. department of housing and urban development requires that counties provide counts of the homeless population every two years. in 2013, the report found there are approximately 7600 homeless people living in santa clara county. volunteers will collect information such as age, gender, section aisle orientation and race. they will be interviewing them asking about barriers and finding employment. domestic violence, healthcare access and how many use government assistance. >> i think the most important trend for us to study is the number of chronically homeless people that we have in the community on a per capty da basis. we have more people with severe mental and physical disinters who have been on the streets for a long time than any other community in the united states. we're -- we've been working on

a very concerted effort to get the most vulnerable off the streets for the past two years. >> reporter: san jose mayor sam liccardo was one of 300 volunteers helping in the count today. they are spread out from palo alto to san jose to gilroy doing this today and tomorrow. results from the data will be ready in early summer. it will be interesting findings. we'll let county leaders know where resources are needed the most. back out here live. you see a lot of scattered shopping carts. sometimes an invasion that homeless people have been around collecting their belongings. they are also searching near the creek bed. a lot of different areas throughout the county where they are gonna collect research and hopefully help in trying to get resources for them. back to you. >> all right. thank you, janine. 8:09. another former cheerleader for the raiders has filed a class- action lawsuit over pay. susie sanchez says she and

other raiderettes were denied minimum wage and overtime compensation. the lawsuit says the women were paid $1250 per year, which works out to less than $5 an hour for rehearsals, charity events and an annual photo session. california minimum wage is $9 an hour. sanchez mentions, deplorable working conditions and grueling training sessions and accuses the raiders of forcing cheerleaders to ignore injuries during rehearsals and games. the team is not commenting on the lawsuit. 8:10. a tough story to talk about. an innocent woman hit and killed by drivers who may have been street racing. the safety concerns of this particular stretch of road in san jose. a violent armed robbery caught on camera. after the break, the police action following the crime that has family members really bothered. we're looking at a commute where traffic is pretty slow all ovaller the place.

you can see the traffic is slowed down on 237 from about 6:00 in the morning and it hasn't improved yet. it's raining out there. okay. not much. but a tiny bit in la honda and los gatos. we'll take a look at it -- coming up.

the dow dropped nearly 400 points in late morning trading after disappointing earnings report. a surprise drop for orders for long lasting goods fell in

december following a decline in november. the really big trop was in the airline industry. that was down 55%. taking a live look at the big board -- police in san pablo are looking for two men considered armed and dangerous. pam cook has more. >> surveillance cameras captured the whole thing. it's what happened afterwards that has the family upset e two men came into his store, the bonfair market. the clerk opened the cash register told the men to take whatever they wanted. on their way out, one of the robbers shot and criticry injured the clerk and made their escape. what's upsetting is what the

man said the responding police officers did after reaching the scene. >> my nephew was laying on the ground asking for help. they were standing and taking pictures of them. i thank you for bringing things to my attention. we'll reach out to the family and ensure whatever we can do to make our response better and make our officers better responding to calls, we will to. >> police say this is their primary focus and they will doing all they can to get the gunmen off the streets and to make sure the response is investigated as well. meantime, the storeowner is offering a $10,000 reward from his own pocket to help catch the men responsible. if you have any information call san pablo police. tori? >> thank you, pam. 8:15. a 16-year-old girl is in police custody this morning after leading police on a chase that ended in a fiery crash in san bruno. [ sirens ] >> witnesses took this video of the chase. police say it started when they tried to pull over the teenager

for driving erratically. the chase ended when she crashed into a popular pizza restaurant severing a gas line that sparked a huge fire. the restaurant was not open fortunately there was no one inside. the teen driver even walked away from the crash unharmed and witnesses tell ktvu her demeanor seemed unusual. >> you can tell in her face she was excited. this was something so excited to be doing. >> i guess we're just blessed no one was here. no one got hurt. >> the fire burned for more than an hour until pg&e crew kos dig up the -- crews could dig up the streets. one witness said she gave him two thumbs up from the back seat of the patrol car. >> there you go. >> yes. 8:16. so far sal says everyone is kind of behaving. still keeping an eye on highway 24. >> we don't have a lot of major trouble. let me turn the chp radio down.

we don't have any major problems. but 80 is going to be slow so is the bay bridge and just -- we have a lot of slow traffic. highway 24 way below, you know, it's mostly first and second gear, westbound as you drive up to the caldecott tunnel. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza now. you will see it's a 20, 25- minute delay getting into san francisco. and again, the good news the silver lining is not a lot of major crashes, we certainly have had fender-benders and they keep coming in. this is a look at san jose and northbound 101 is slow from blossom hill road all the way up. most of it is slow. most of that drive getting into cupertino is gonna be under the limit with j a couple of spots on the freeway where you break free for a moment. let's go to the weather center and steve. thank you, sir. there's very light rain.

mainly sprinkles down around san jose, around santana row, also la honda, linda roberts says not in los gatos. but there's some by santana row. this is really light stuff. there's not much there. but maybe south of that. san jose down to morgan hill, gilroy, up in the santa cruz mountains, you might get a little bit of rain. more than sprinkles. i get it. i understand. there's not a lot here. this is our only hope to get rain. santa rosa, lake county, mendocino county, they had some rain. i know it wasn't much. for the bay area, most are staring at the driest january ever. this system i doubt gets more than a few sprinkles or a trace of rain. sfo is 64 degrees. 48 fairfield. santa rosa. but the southeast wind, peninsula, south bay upper 50s, 60s. it mean 60s -- i mean, 60s. 61 sara toe guy, sunnyvale, 62.

fremont, 61. even 50s force morgan hill and gilroy. due south breeze gusting up to 20 at sfo. it was south at half moon bay it's turned a little bit more northeast. mountain view, hayward due south. and the water temps from monterey to half moon bay even bodega bay at 57. get the mr. bubble out. come on. in january? come on. that's too warm. come on. the dry air is moving into las vegas down there and los angeles and also into san diego but we have the cloud cover. we'll have the cloud cover most of the day and again any light rain it won't last long. a little bit of patchy fog. 60s on the temps. if you are sitting at 61 or 6. it won't be that -- 61 off 62. that won't be that hard -- just too much cloud cover coming up from baja. very light rain possible santa cruz mountains, san jose. maybe the peninsula. that will do it except for low crowds and fog and maybe some

drizzle. we're done after today on any rain for this month. >> we only have a couple of days left in the month. >> yeah. >> nothing even tori can do. >> i tried to wash my car and everything. [laughter] >> that will do it. >> usually happens. usually works. two berkeley dollar stores yank soda off their shelves. in 16 minutes, the recent tax measure the business owners say is to blame. even less places to park in one neighborhood, the plan that's making some people angry even though the move is aimed to help keep them safe.

8:22. we're following developing news from libbyia with a group with a ties to isis is claiming responsibility for a deadly attack at a libbyian hotel -- libyan hotel in tripoli. a car boom went off at the scene. there are conflicting reports whether any of the attackers are dead. he would do it all over again include the doping. that's what disgraced cyclist lance armstrong is saying if he could turn back the clock. in a bbc interview, armstrong says he would not dope if he was racing in 2015. he says he does not think it's necessary in the sport anymore. how far, if he was taken back

to 1995, when he said doping was pervasive. he probably would do it again. the 43-year-old cyclist stripped of his seven tour de france titles. i know people don't like to hear that but it's the honest answer. the nfl may be closinger to solving the -- closer to solving the deflategate mystery. they may know who let the air automatic 0 ut of balls. they say they have video of a locker room attendant taking the became gaules out of the locker room -- taking the game balls out of the locker room. fox sports the attendant has been questioned by the nfl. well, a surprise found by astronomers when that asteroid passed real close to earth yesterday. they discovered the asteroid has its own moon. you can see it. look. near the top of your screen.

nasa released this video of the asteroid and its mini satellite. the asteroid is about a third of a mile wide. its moon is not even as big as a football field. scientists are hoping to make even more discoveries from all of the information collected by instruments that were tracking the fly by of that asteroid. 8:25. some new yorkers thought outside of the box when it came to get ready for the winter storm, -- for the winter storm. coming up. >> reporter: we're live where a young woman is killed while doing. and what police believe is the effect of a street race. we spoke to a neighbor and why she says the city needs to do something to make these streets safer. >> we're looking at a lot of slow traffic. look at 280 heading north. it has not improved a lot. here it is almost 8:30. we'll tell you more about this

commute. well, my good buddy said there's light rain in san jose. it's only on the windshield. not enough to do enough. that looks to be the story today. we'll take a look at it on radar.

well, good morning. wan to -- welcome back to "mornings on 2." you are looking live. this is a dollar tree in berkeley. it's making news. this is one of two locations in berkeley. they've yanked soda off the shelves. some people are frustrated. others are applauding it. brian flores is out there right now. he will tell us why dollar tree executives say the results of a

recent election left them with no other choice. stay tuned. thanks for joining us. tuesday, january 27th. i'm dave clark. steve, little stuff happening. >> very little. >> parts of the peninsula south bay. we'll take a look at that coming up in a second, mainly it's cloudy. not much else. i think sprinkles or light rain. some areas, it's lightening up a little bit. parts of long island, i just saw a picture from sag harbor, new york, two feet. providence and boston getting a lot of snow. very windy. blizzard conditions for some. the system is slowly moving off. back to new york and new jersey things are calmer. 4 to 11. la guardia had almost a foot and parts of lock had two feet. there was some there. some very light rain is possible on the peninsula probably up along skyline and in the santa cruz mountains. around san jose, campbell, santana, a little bit of rain.

it looks worse than it is. it's not that ominous. 40s, 50s and 60s. 64 sfo, southeast breeze. la hon da is 58. los altos hills, 51. san mateo at 63. south-southeast wind. a little pit along the 880 corridor and also san jose, kind of a breezy pattern. maybe a little bit down towards morgan hill. more out to the valley than here. cloudy mild. light rain, south. it's more brinkles or light or brief. breezy, temperatures on the mild side. 60s. here is sal with an update on the traffic. the usual slow. >> you were talking about the east all morning long. it's a great idea to check with your carrier even if you are not going back east. the entire system tends to bog down when there is a delay like that. you don't know when your plane is doing. take a moment to check in with your airline if you are taking a flight anywhere. let's take a look at the

commute westbound, you can see traffic here is backed up at the bay bridge toll plaza for about a 25-minute delay. no major delays on the bridge. it's been a normal tuesday if there were any accidents. the answer is no, we don't have any major accidents. had a couple of fender-benders. this is 880 northbound. it's very slow trying to get up to downtown oakland. this is that typical commute getting up there. these days it starts in san leandro. it doesn't get better until you best past high street. the is lit up like a christmas tree. southbound 208 at moorpark. here and there. these crashes clear to the shoulder. all of the freeways are slow. back to the desk. police in san jose have arrested two men involved in a horrifying crash. it killed a woman who was out jogging. investigators think those drivers were street racing when the jogger was hit and killed. tara moriarty joinings live

now. you are still at the scene with more about the safety concerns being raised out there. >> reporter: yeah. there are quite a few safety concerns. neighbors have let us know about it. actually the brother of the victim is here right now. he's very upset. he makes a good point. this guardrail, you can see where these posts are really not that far into the sidewalk and can easily come out which is exactly what happened during this accident. the speed limit is 35 miles an hour. but drivers will go 50, 60, 70, even 9090 miles an hour. we've seen it -- 90 miles an hour. we've seen it all morning long. neighbors have complained. police set up speed traps but then people slow down and go back to normal. relatives of karen pablo say they received a phone call from the coroner last night informing them that she was killed yesterday around noontime. witnesses say two men appeared to be racing each over,

speeding -- each other, speeding west on yerba buena when they lost control of the car and moved to the right. >> i won't even let my grandchildren be in the front yard. who knows what can happen when we're working in the yard, we're always looking behind hour backs because we don't know what could come our way. the city needed to know how this has affected us. they have to do something. i don't know what more it's gonna take. i mean, what higher cost can you pay than a life? >> reporter: police say the two drivers 19-year-old gabriel basera and 24-year-old manuel avalos have been looked on vehicular manslaughter charges. guardrails were put up a while ago but more needs to be done to make this road safe, the neighbors say. the department of transportation and the city are supposed to be out here sometime this morning to reinstall this barrier, especially for folks coming by the crash site. as the brother has pointed out,

putting it back into place is not going to do much good. live in san jose, tara moriarty, back to you. >> thank you. 8:33. also new this morning in san jose, residents of a san jose duplex escaped safely after this early-morning fire in their carport. the two-alarm fire started around 3:30 on wayburn lane near de anza boulevard and three cars were burned. the fire did not spread to the duplex itself. no one was hurt. the cause of the fire is under investigation. time is 8:34. the soda tax in berkeley may be having an effect on what you shoppers are finding on store shelves. a couple of businesses say the tax makes sugary drinks too expensive to sell. one city councilman says well, the tax is working. kowt's brian flores in berkeley this morning -- ktvu's brian flores is in berkeley this morning. >> we're live in front of the

dollar tree store one of two locations in berkeley where they sell stuff for how much? yes, a dollar. the berkeley soda tax made it impossible to sell soda for that much. it would cost more. so instead of selling this decided to pull it from the shelves. measure d proponents are taking notice. want to take a look at a quote from laurie capitelli. he wrote -- >> reporter: i've ben e-mailing back and for the with the vice president of investors relations of the dollar tree store. he says through a statement because of the berkeley soda tax, they were no longer able to carry sugary drinks and soda at the one-dollar price point. this would add 68 cents to a two liter bottle of soda. it would make it closer to $2. this is the first time a soda

few hours outside of manhattan, we're seeing about 18 inches to two feet of snow in some locations in eastern new york and so while the travel bans have been lifted the trains and buses have started back in the big city and in new york and new jersey, you have long island which is getting the kind of conditions that you are seeing right now in massachusetts with 30,000 people without power and in maine and in new hampshire, tori. >> i heard nantucket , the island has no power at all. what are people saying in new york city this. >> reporter: the head of the national weather service actual actually tweeted his -- actually tweeted his deepest apologies. you have to understand when you shut town an entire city based on a forecast, there are consequence. despite the fact the travel ban has been lifted, businesses are

280, right near highway 17 and traffic is still very slow. let's go to steve in the weather center now. thank you, sal. we have cloudy skies here. some very light rain. but while the northeast is the focus, we'll have more on that in a second. light rain around la honda, campbell, san jose. i know up in the santa cruz mountains. emphasis on light rain. the system missed philadelphia, much of new jersey. new york city, 4 to 11 inches. out around long island, reports of the two feet. boston has 18.2 inches. they are about to go in the top ten of all time. i think they need another .50. parts of the massachusetts coastline will be permanently altered by 20-foot waves which were accompanied by the blizzard and from nantucket to the harp tons there's been about 20 -- hamptons there's been about 20 inches of snow.

machine low park 60. los altos hills, 61. southeast wind up to 20. a decent breeze for some. parts of the 880, peninsula, also south bay maybe down to morgan hill, gilroy, castro valley, monterey, that could be light rain. today is the only way unless it's fog and drizzle. that's the only hope for san francisco to get anything over .01. 60s on the temps. some areas are 62. we won't see much of a difference on a lot of these highs. they will stay right here for a couple of days. after about thursday then i think we'll see more sun and it looks dry. next hint of any rain is around february 8th. over a week away. >> that's really hard to pinpoint precisely -- >> we've seen this before. and then it backs off. it's one of the most popular songs. now tom petty is getting a tong
