Plus, its going to be a cold weekend across the northeast and the midwest section of the country. Yep. And now they are dealing with flooding and freezing. It just looks miserable. You look at that and you think, there is absolutely nothing we can say negatively about our weather here. That like icy river flowing through the streets there just looks horrible. Bitter cold. So for more on what our weather looks like very thankful in the bay area. I mean, when you see the pictures.

I want to mention Something Else that make it your attention today. The bay bridge, why is it so heavy on a friday . Thats because of a couple reasons. A lot of people are on the road but also this morning we had a problem on the bridge where it caused some slow traffic as you head up to the bridge. They had to close the bridge at one point for a few minutes. The damage was done i like to say that but i dont like to say that. Thats what happens when you do that.
