He was crazy and him and roxy both are just amazing people to be around. In just the last few years, he made a Career Change to fulfill a long time dream of becoming an officer.

What are they thinking about this procession about this particular officer that has died in the line of duty there in tracy . Its very quiet. Im sorry, i didnt mean to get emotional. When i saw everyone with their hands over their hearts, i saw tears coming out of people, its hard not to get emotional watching this and talking to the pastors today who knew him and even the young man who worked at the raleighs supermarket, having a brief conversation with him, he touched everybody. It wasnt just the badge and honor he bee stowed on the community and bestowed on his family and community, he was just a very wonderful human being. He really lived his life the way his service meant to that he was there for his family. He was there for his friends. He was just a wonderful guy. Hearing from people that knew him best, i cant help but get emotional talking about it because he just seemed like somebody that you would want to know and it really is terribly sad that it has happened to this family who has such strong ties in the community. Just picture those he was three young kids. From what we understand, his wife didnt tell them that their daddy had died until after they opened presents on Christmas Morning. I just cant even imagine the brave face that she had to put on. Its interesting too how you get emotional there when you are close. I drove down to the chp office in hayward where he worked out of and i was fine until i pulled in the parking lot. As soon as you pull into the parking lot, you see all the officers parked there and the flowers in front. You just get really emotional. Its really something when you see it up close like that. Especially when you know he was out there trying to protect everybody else and this is how he passed. It really just rocked this community and ive tbhorkd tracy for many worked in tracy for many years. Its a very tight community. Its a old town. People seem to know each other still. This has really affected a lot of people. Wellloved and respected man. We send prayers to his family, colleagues and friends and everyone who knew him. Lee, thank you.

The amount of snow in the sierra looks drastically different than this time last year. The average elevation where snow turns to rain is getting higher and ktvu meteorologist mark demayo fiewnd out this may be found out this may be a shift to a new normal. The sierra winter attracts millions of visitors every year. Fix the elevation signs lead the way along interstate 80 a big change has emerged a big change has emerged in a small amount of time. This gas station has been a popular pit stop. The current owner has been shoveling snow here for over four decades. On this december day, there was no snow clear. I see a lot of rain where as it will wash up during the summer. Earlier storms this year for example, weve gotten three, four inches of rain and a series of storms and hardly any snow. His unscientific observations may be backed by signs. Something bigger is happening. Middecember christmas, we generally hope to not see all this shrubbery. Benjamin ascientist with the desert a scientist with the Desert Research in reno made his drive to the mountains to see they are lacking snow. The headlines are jumping out of a recent study he worked on. In the last 10 years the average elevation where snow turns to rain has jumped dramatically. Weve seen in a 10year period theres been a different level in elevation from putting chains on your car around baxter, now you do it around frisco. It surprised researchers studying snow levels. They looked at radar and weather station sites. While there are short term fluctuations, the long term trend may be pointing up. This is totally consistent with the concerns we have with ongoing Climate Change. The two main culprits may be found to our west. Rising Ocean Temperatures and development of more Atmospheric River stormy vents. Both link to Climate Change. 50, 60, 100 years, you look out to the mountains here, is there a chance the snow level could be the average snow level above Donner Summit . Certainly, and i think that is one of the largest concerns both for people who enjoy winter recreation, but even more so for water resource management. The cold winter storms are important. They blanket the sierra with snowfall eventually melting away into our water supply. The warmest storms may not produce any snow. They produce rainfall. Possibly too much rainfall. That could lead to big flooding concerns. It sets up a perfect scenario for a couple big storms with 10,000 foot snow levels with rain on everything and bring in a lot of warm, moist air and very windy conditions to produce a lot of snow pack melt through rain on snow. As you can see with this threestory lodge, the snow was almost to the top. Some of our lifts needed to be dug out. Matt peterson recalls legendary snow season one year ago. Its one of many resorts that relies on a powerful snow making system to cover their runs. Weve invested into a pond cooling system and what it does is it cycles the water up through fountains and it cycles the pond and it gets the water down by two to three degrees colder. That cooler water gets fund into the lines to create high quality snow blasted over the mountain. The importance of snow making will only increase if the cold stormy vents become less frequent. Researchers admit the 10year sample size is tiny on the long term scale of Climate Change. The Study Suggests a stronger monthoring system to track few Monitoring System to track future changes. For now, the current snap shot of lower elevations may be a preview of what winters could look like down the road. Lets bring in our meteorologist right now. It almost seems like theres no normal anymore. You look at last season. They were skiing until july. Exactly. Now this season i guess is it ok skiing . When you get to 5,000 feet, you are not seeing much snow. 6,000 feet, you see some snow. As far as the epic winter in the sierra, its not happening and whats fascinating about the story you think of Climate Change in small increments, but when you when they are tracking a 1,200 feet elevation change in snow in just 10 years, people are saying i remember we used to have snow at 3,000 and 4,000 feet and already big jump. Thats why we went up there and talk talked to the ski resorts talked to the ski resorts. This could be a new norm and they have to prepare for that as we this season there is not much snowfall at the lower elevation and years to come possibly as well. As far as the bay area, its hard to believe its december out there. Take a look at the highs this afternoon. 50s and 60s. 61 and 62 to 64 degrees this afternoon.

These are current temperatures across portions of the country. Theres a big dip with cool air moving into portions of the country setting up like this. Here to the west of that, we have a dry weather pattern and a mild one as well. A few high clouds approaching the bay area right now. A few scattered white clouds. Still relatively quiet for your tuesday evening. Temperatures right now are in the 50s with san jose 55. Livermore 56 degrees. Oakland 53 degrees.

The one change we could have more patchy fog tomorrow morning near portions of the bay and the inland valleys as well. Be watching out for that first thing tomorrow morning. San francisco put that in the forecast. 50 degrees 7 00 and by lunchtime partly sunny skies, 58 and then into the afternoon hours by 3 00, hazy sunshine, readings in the upper 50s and could be flirting with 60 degrees tomorrow afternoon. Here is the forecast model trying to generate some of the patchy fog, maybe a few high clouds tomorrow morning and then into the afternoon hours, we should have hazy sunshine by midday wednesday. Forecast highs for tomorrow will be in the upper 50s to the lower 60s out there. These numbers not changing too much. You can see San Francisco there at 59. San jose 62. San mateo 61. Half moon bay in the upper 50s. 57 degrees. A look ahead. Your fiveday forecast. Look at temperatures jumping into thursday. Warmest locations could be approaching the mid60s. This is the next developing situation were watching. Thats day five on sunday, december 31. One forecast model is trying to suggest rainfall. In fact, the other models is keeping us dry. This is something to be watching. Well probably get a better handle on this tomorrow into thursday as we can either bump up those rains chances or reduce those rain chances. Possibly some more rainfall before 2017 comes to an end. Just keep that in mind for your new years eve plans. Well update the forecasts in a few minutes. Many fire crews in the bay area headed to Southern California to help with the thomas fire. Coming up, we talk to a few of those firefighters who made it home just in time for the holidays. Cal fire says a wildfire burning in ventura and Santa Barbara counties is now 88 contained. The thomas fire has become the largest fire in state history and has burned more than 281,000 acres and destroyed more than a thousand homes and other buildings.

This is him and his wife, elizabeth, who is also a firefighter on their wedding day and this is the base camp for the thomas fire last week. We told ourselves in the weeks leading up to it that we might miss our first christmas together as a couple. That did not happen. Colleagues know when youre a firefighter, theres no guarantee of getting home for the holidays. My son is 11 now and my daughter is 9. You know, being gone for 23 days, the kids are used to me being gone, but they dont like it. Kurt works on the same team and shared his photos from the thomas fire. We asked him what it was like returning just in time for christmas after 23 days away. My wife was ecstatic when i got home. Its like seeing them for the first time again. 23yearold firefighter made it home to morgan hill to celebrate with his parents knowing this last deployment was especially tough on family members back home. When injuries happen on the fire line such as this past fire with the unfortunate death of a firefighter, it scares everybody a little bit. There are still hundreds of firefighters from around the country fighting the thomas fire. While no one from this station at the San Jose Fire Department was deployed, i was talking to them. They said wildfire season technically ended here in november, but they are taking the unusual effort to still carry their wild land gear simply because its been so dry. Did they talk specifically at all about what it was like actually fighting that thomas fire . There were times when the wind gusts were so strong that pretty much all they could do was just stand by and watch. I asked them about that because this was such a long deployment from two to three weeks and thats what they pointed out. They said the fire behavior was so erratic that is what they are going to take away.
