Speeds should be lower. The bay bridge toll plaza. Now under 30 minutes. So far so good. And we are tracking that massive winter storm on the east coast here at the live desk. As if the winds werent bad enough there is record flooding. Look at this video from overnight. Floodwaters froze hitting streets and turned parked cars into popsicles.
