the san martin airport is here. the plane landed here which means they had to tow it northbound, exit the freeway and get back on the other direction for a total distance of 4 1/2 miles. what a drive it turned out to be. the pickup truck towing the plane went at about the pace of a leisurely stroll. when it came time to merge back on the freeway, the chp ran a traffic break and yes, the backup was horrendous. across the wide lanes of 101 the plane could actually make good time but once on surface streets crews often had to unhook the plane and wiggle it through by hand to get past traffic signs, mailboxes and fences sometimes with inches to spare. what do you think of this? >> it don't bother me. i done know why they didn't tow it across the field. >> reporter: the slow motion plane with emergency vehicles through the santa clara countryside was surreal. ever see anything like this? >> no. not at all. it's crazy. this is amazing. >> reporter: the pilot was okay. no one on the ground was injured. there was no damage anywhere and the whole thing start to finish took about two hours. >> i think this pilot did from what i can tell an outstanding job, exceptional to be able to do what he did on the 101 and do it without there being any injuries or damage to any property. >> reporter: in san martin, kiet do, kpix5. there's a smattering of rain in fremont earlier today with frigid temperatures moving in. by tomorrow some bay area peaks could get a dusting of snow. that's at least possible as high pressure is driving cold air from the north into the bay area for the first part of the week anyway, but it doesn't have much moisture, but it is plenty cold. freeze warnings will go up tomorrow night through tuesday morning when numbers dive down to the mid-20s and low 30s, not for tonight. tonight santa rosa will be at 33 degrees, san jose 38 and walnut creek 34. three things to remember, the coldest day of the week will be tomorrow, the coldest night will be tomorrow night and by the end of the week it's warming up again. we'll have the complete forecast in a few minutes. in the meantime the dry and cold weather is having an impact in wine country and there's kpix5's andrea nakano. >> reporter: the wine country is bracing itself for the cold weather tonight and it's hoping that it stays out of the 20s and workers will be out on frost patrol hoping that they can save their crop. >> it's really the perfect storm. >> reporter: first the wine country experienced unseasonably warm temperatures causing vinyls to bud out two to three weeks earlier than normal. >> the vines and all the trees and flowers think hey, it's springtime. it's time to wake up. >> reporter: especially the chardonnay vinyls where you can already see these leaves and tiny little clusters of fruit, but now here comes a frost where temperatures are expected to dip into the mid-20s overnight. >> this is one time you can't sleep in because it really could be devastating. >> reporter: starting at midnight vineyard workers will be out on patrol trying to limit the damage. tom davies says one night of frost can damage the entire crop. he's already experienced it more than a decade ago. >> back in 2006 we lost about 20 acres of fruit. that was a big hit and for a small family winery, that hurt. >> reporter: once temperatures reach freezing levels when machines will be turned on. >> he doing the air moving, it keep -- keeping the air moving, it keeps that cold air and potentially ice from forming on this little bud. >> reporter: but if temperatures fall below 28 degrees, there's not much that can be done to save the budding crop. >> once it gets so cold we're really at the whims of mother nature. >> reporter: and the cabernet vines should be okay since they typically bud a little later than the chardonnay, but it is a wait and see approach here in wine country looking to see how cold it gets tonight and this week. live in sonoma, andrea nakano, kpix5. a predawn fire tore through several conned minimums in martinez. it started when a panel of oil was left unattended on a stove burner. it broke out just after 4 a.m. on east gate lane destroying five of eight homes in the complex. the others have smoke and water damage. firefighters say the flames spread from the kitchen through an attic safe and into other units. >> it makes me think there's no firewalls going up into at particular. that has me worried -- into the attic. that has me worried. >> a 19-year-old man admitted he started the fire by accident. now everyone in the complex must find

and did nothing. old also defended -- he also defended his victory writing, "the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians." >> it's hard to say that this didn't affect the outcome. it was an exceptionally close election. one candidate won the popular vote. the other candidate won the electoral vote, about the it's not yet clear whether the russians succeeded in actually changing votes. >> reporter: the justice department has indicted 13 russians and three russian companies for creating hundreds of fake social media profiles. they posted attacks on hillary

with lows in the mid-teens and an expected 4 to 6 inches of snow, fairly paltry. that's because while this fairly robust cold front is heading over the bay area, it doesn't have much in the way of moisture. nevertheless on the cape mendocino shoreline there are widely scattered showers and in the mountains there is some snow falling, not a ton. down in the bay area, too we've got a few sprinkles in the higher elevations of the santa cruz mountains and so far that's about it, but we'll have this kind of pop-up shower activity in the next 24 hours or so. blue skies at transamerica and blue skies at the golden gate bridge, mostly sunny skies to close out this sunny sunday, concord temperatures in the mid- 50s, oakland and san francisco 51, in santa rosa 48 degrees. out the door tomorrow morning might have a sprinkle or two near the coast. inland it will be partly cloudy and cold to start out monday morning, 36 degrees inland. around the bay we'll be in the low 40s, so temperatures are coming down a bit and here's why. that cold pool of air coming down from the gulf means it will be cloudy, on the breezy side monday and tuesday. then things will turn around and also there's the potential that because of the snow levels are pretty low we could get a dusting of snow in bay area peaks. it will warm slightly as we get toward the weekend. we'll recover all the way to the 60s. in the meantime it's been windy today. those winds have begun to ease up except at the shoreline where the winds tomorrow at 7:00 will still be in the 25- mile an hour range. futurecast shows all this pop- up shower activity overnight tonight. here's tomorrow morning and tomorrow midday finally beginning to clear up. we get a few clouds over the coast range, but there's enough moisture for the potential with the snow level down to 1,000 feet overnight of possible, not very possible, but possible dusting of snow up on mount hamilton or mount diablo. that would be pretty. we can but hope. the forecast is calling for highs, look how lows these were. remember yesterday we were in the low 70s. tomorrow we'll be in the low 50s and that chance of a few sprinkles closer to the coast. we'll color it partly cloudy. by monday night that's the coldest night of the week when santa rosa gets down to 27, walnut creek 29. that's tomorrow night. here's what we're expecting, mid-30s tonight, snow level 1,000 feet, windy and cool monday and tuesday, warming a bit by midweek. in terms of significant rain, not going to happen in. terms of lows tonight, upper 30s and low 40s in the south bay. in the east bay mostly mid-30s tonight. up in the north bay again mostly in the mid-30s and chillier than that up for ukiah and lake port, 27 degrees. in the extended forecast we'll be looking for numbers to recover by the time we get to wednesday, thursday and friday, but in the meantime the big chill, such as it is, moves into the bay area. that's weather. here's brian with sports. it might be colder here, but it was red hot at daytona in the final laps especially. we'll drop the green flag next. , martha security! get him! wow, do you guys workout? try my new pork belly blt, part of my

98 loss campaign. vern glenn join says us live from scottsdale. tony watson is the latest addition to the roster improvements. every time this time of year feels optimistic in spring training. how is it with the giants? >> reporter: yeah, optimistic indeed, dennis. what you need to know is that all the giants have checked in at this field that you can barely maybe see behind me. it's going to be really crowded tomorrow morning. how bad was this 98 loss 2017, dennis? some of these players thought they would be dropped or traded, keyword thought. >> we're not thinking about any of that stuff. it's like here we go. it's 2018, let's go. >> reporter: spring training seems to have every team excited about a fresh start, but it's especially true for buster posey who was glad the decision was to add rather than to subtract. >> a lot of teams might have torn team down after last year. i might have been on the trade block. madison might have been on the trade block if you're part of another organization. so i think we're all lucky to be a part of the giants family and hopefully we can do them proud. >> reporter: evan longoria is one of the big new additions to the family and after spending his entire career with the rays the 42-year-old is like a kid on christmas eve. tomorrow will be the first full squad workout. >> it's kind of been the longest month and a half of my offseason career, you know, just waiting to put on a new uniform and kind of get the offseason jitters out of the way and look forward to putting on a new uniform. >> reporter: now i'll see longoria, who is not happy, by the way, with the moves that his old team, tampa, has made and the rest of his giants tomorrow morning at 8:45. dennis, these folks, they are just raring to go. tony watson may not be among the giants tomorrow morning as ink is still drying on his contract. we'll see you next hour and later on in gameday, but for now let's send it back to san francisco. >> vern, thanks a
