other dresses because it is prom season. we talk about the princess project this time of year because they really have a cool program that helps teens. >> for the past 12 years the san francisco non-profit has been giving away prom dresses. >> there are a few dates you need to know about. march 7, 15 and 21. reservations are already filling up. i know the march 07/07/07 is gone. when you look at the website it say that is one is -- i know when you look at the march 07/07/07, it is gone. all right. the legendary actor leonard nimoy died yesterday. >> i was so sad when i heard

about that. >> nimoy's wife says his death was caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. his character debuted in the original star trek series september 8, 1966. >> his imagination and creativity made the character one interestingly humanized and sory vettingly intrigued. >> i saw a lot of tweets from people who worked with him, actors, talking about so many things about who he was other than mr. spock. he was a director, writer, photographer, poet, musician, all important things to remember when you talk about the lifetime and career of someone who was 83 years old. >> i didn't know the president of the united states apparently was a long time star trek fan. president obama issued a statement yesterday that read long before being nerdy was

cool, there was leonard nimoy. he said he met nimoy in 2007 and greeted him with the vulcan salute. >> yes. my favorite character on the show and i am certainly not alone in that. we are all bidding fair well to spock. a very successful, long glyph absolutely. . well, some of us here are west a live look over oakland this morning as we turn to weather. we have been mostly cloudy, then we will clear up a bit, then we turn mostly cloudy again. here is a look at the storm move from california to the south from the north.

you can see how most of this moisture is bypasses the bay area. it is sort of doing one of these and moving in over areas like monterey and central california. for us the santa cruz mountains have picked up nearly 3/10-inch of rain. mountain am littleton reported a little less than 2/10 so far. most of us have remained dry and not seen any rain at all. the san mateyo coastline will have just a slight possibility of a passing shower, even a thunderstorm, because the air is very unstable for today. an additional 3 to 6 inches of snow expected here. this is great news. if there is any good news out of the system is that it is a cold storm and the sierra is finally getting snow. the levels are down to 4,500 feet and the anchors have been talking about it. if you are thinking about heading to the sierra make sure you have snow tires or chains. for us at home it will be a mix of sun and clouds the.

the possibility of a few scattered showers. the -- sun and clouds. the possibility of a few scattered showers. temperatures will be on the cool side with upper 50s to low 60s. 46 degrees in napa. 46 in santa rosa, 54 in san francisco. half-moon bay checking in at 54, as well. 53 for concord. how about the afternoon? 59 in vallejo, as well as san family and friends yell. berkeley will go to 60. 60 in hayward in. the south bay san jose partly cloudy skies and 60 degrees. mainly dry weather tomorrow. breezy and temperatures a tad warmer. the breezy conditions will feel a little bit cool.

mostly cloudy on monday. a very slight chance of maybe a few sprinkle, but it is barely worth mentioning so i guess i will stop mentioning it. [ laughing ] >> you always have to know, even the little stuff, what to expect. >> yes. one or two people will get a shower and then i will get a tweet. >> emails will start pouring in you should have said it was going to rain. >> now she said it! up next, something we all want to try, well, maybe some of us have. >> and more of what police found in the passenger side of a car in new york. >> and the best part of desert. we will be right back. >> i love desert!

. well, take a look at this dummy. >> you see people do that here and i think people put car seats that are empty, and they will put stuffed animals in them. >> you can't see it is made out of wood there. >> trying to trick the police. >> yes. an officer questioned him about his very quiet passenger. >> he said the passenger, can i see i.d. i said officer i don't think so. [ laughing ] i came home in the h.o.v. lane. what can you do? >> what can do you, huh? >> he doesn't care he got caught. i wonder how much the ticket was. >> yes. campbell said he used the fake body to get to work on time. ' apparently he was running late. why not throw in a gold, old,

wooden dummy. >> and he got away with it. he got a ticket violation and speeding ticket, as well. well, now to dessert. only 12% of people that eat at home are having dessert after a meal. >> that seems like a low amount. >> well, if you go out to a restaurant i think you have more. if you share a dessert, you can squeeze in a bite. >> yes. it is about everything in moderation. nothing wrong with something sweet. that is my take on dessert, as well. >> and others say they are trying to cut back on sugar or lose weight and that means keeping things out of the house. bakery owners aren't really seeing a decrease in customers except for the usual dip in the month of january coming out of the holidays.

>> yes. take a look at your screen. here is how it is broken down. melon yells seem to say void sweets more often. nine out of ten avoid sweets after dinner and for a lot of people it is not about cutting back. it is because people are snacking more during the day and don't need dessert. >> i will take a scoop of ice cream. i would be more prone to eat it at home than at a restaurant. i mean, it is more expensive, right? >> yes. but they are better, so much better! if you are going to avoid the dessert table, how about the bar? we are talking beer. would you ladies rather have a treat or drink. the craft festival is happening today at the santa clara county fairgrounds. one is taking place from 1:00 to 4:30. the second is taking place if

6:00 to 9:30 tonight. >> 150 craft beers? >> we will pace it out! >> that is why there are two sessions -- . >> with a nap in the middle. >> a few years ago i would not have said i was a beer drinker but now i want to try. there are so many. >> and how is the weather there? >> all good. partly cloudy, a little cold and a chance for showers. >> that is it. that is our newscast for the morning. thank you for joining us, everyone. >> have a great saturday. see you tomorrow.
