way there and starts this process of starting to shake his hand. as soon as he did it, next thing you know everyone started to run to him and shaking his hand. there you have the joe bell moment. >> it was remarkable. it just went viral very quickly. >> since this moment joe bell has passed away. so this year's race which is actually today has a very special meaning. >> allie rasmus live in san

jose 408 race for the row. we're standing in front of the starting line. this is some of the people, runners bundled up. it's a little chilly, getting ready for the race to start. doesn't start until 8:00. it benefits the pat tillman foundation. a lot of the men and women in the armed services usually take part. it was done last year as well. that is why joe bell, 95-year- old world war ii veteran during last year's race decided to put on his old uniform which he still fit in, go in front of his house on the race route and thank the men and women in uniform passing by. that gesture of gratitude from the video, was captured on video, it went viral and he became a late in life celebrity. you always knew you wanted to make joe a part of this race this year even though he passed away in january. >> we were hoping to have him in the lead vehicle or to make something special happen in front of his house a little less organic than it was last year. i think people just wanted to see him out there one more time. have their own chance to thank him. we lost that opportunity unfortunately in january. but we're making him a part of it in a way this year with our memorial mile. >> >> reporter: what is that? >> we thought we could give the opportunity to veterans that joe had last year. the feeling that he got when he felt appreciated, he felt a love from the runners. if we could expand upon that, to dozens of veterans on that same block we would be doing something special for local military. >> reporter: thank you. that memorial mile is about three miles into the race route, a little later this morning officer the race started we're going to head there. we're told joe bell's family members will be waiting outside his house ready to thank some of the people, the men and women in

bart's bart on-time record since 2012 and it ran on schedule 96% of the time but in the last three months of 2014 that number dropped to an 87% on-time record. bart blames bad weather, demonstrations and aging equipment. bart says many of its cars and sections of track have not been upgraded since bart started service in 1972. the paper also reports cal transis accepting responsibility for eliminating part of the drainage system on the eastern span of the bay bridge. the agency agreed to that as a way to cut costs and speed up construction after many delays. there have been more than

to bring at least a possibility of a chance of showers on monday. tuesday, wednesday and thursday dry, partly cloudy skies, and do expect once the winds die down that the fog is going to return with that residual moisture in place. temperatures will be back in the mid to upper 60s as we get into thursday. >> you look all the way to saturday. >> saturday know looks dry. maybe even a little warmer. after weeks of melting snow it's starting to look a lot like winter. coming up, just how much fell from the latest storm and why some say it's still just not enough. >> i think it's crazy they started

check out this picture. the sierra is looking great and snow showers are expected to continue there today. live look at what it looks like at the squaw valley ski resort. they have a web cam. that is it. it looks good. the highest resort received -- they have 2/3 of ski runs open. that is after snow fell across most of the northern sierra yesterday. crews are working to keep i-80 in good shape over donner summit that can cause problems for drivers sometimes. some ski resorts reported more than a foot of snow friday but it turned to rain at the lower elevations making it easier for drivers heading to the resorts. >> we actually started putting our chains on our truck and we got to tell one of the plow truck drivers hey, you don't have to chain up anymore. >> all drivers going across the sierra need to carry chains. and drivers officer highway 50 accept four-wheel drive with snow tires have to use chains in some areas. ski resorts and operators and water officials all happy with any amount of snow and rain but we're still way behind the curve when it comes to the winter snow pack. this is december. check out all the snow here. looks pretty good. i want to show what you it looks like now even with the rain and snow we got yesterday. this is the bad thing. here. all the rocks exposed because there's just not enough snow to cover it. scheidt be covered and this water level should actually be a lot higher this time of year. we're going to find out just how bad the water picture actually is on tuesday because that is when the next sierra snow survey is scheduled. so far california only has had two big storms this year. both pretty warm storms so they didn't drop much snow. the snow survey is expected to confirm the fears that there is not actually that much water in the snow we have which will likely mean water planners have to restrict releases from reservoirs around the state again. i remember last year's snow survey, the last one they took i believe was like 18% or 120% of average. >> sure. >> we've had more precipitation this winter season so i expect it to be a little higher. that was taken may 1st. >> right. i think we were 25% to 30% of where we should be. >> strong november, strong december. >> as claudine mentioned the storms were really warm. even though we were picking up a lot of rain here, 7,000, 8,000, no. >> this storm, cold storm, we had a lot of cold air aloft. warmer air at the surface. that is the type of weather that brought us a lot of snow in the sierra even though we didn't see much rain here. i'll show you amounts in a moment. live look over san francisco. blue skies, no clouds. we will have a little build-up into the afternoon but we're going to remain dry. again a very cold storm. we didn't see a lot of moisture in the bay area. some of us picked up rain. look at the sierra, diamond peak reporting two feet since friday. squaw valley 27 inches, kirkwood 14 inches. areas around sugar bowl 12 inches. so this is great news. we definitely needed this colder system to bring us the snow. so we'll be of course tracking that. we will fill you in and bring you up to date on the survey for tuesday. i've turned off

comes to keeping those roads clear. in indiana officials are mixing that usual road salt there with beet juice. that is because that juice is actually sticky so it keeps the salt on the roads longer. road crews also say it is more effective in colder temperatures. >> regular salt quits working 12, 13 degrees, somewhere in there. and when you add the wet juice to it it doesn't stop working in the it gets in -- could be negative, negative 20 degrees. >> the beet juice is also less expensive than road salt and sand and does less damage to the environment and the road equipment, because the salt

because even though the flight pushed from the terminal on time it had to come back because of delays of de-icing that plane. then the snow piled up on the runway causing more delays. passengers got off the plane but were also told to stay close to hear departure announcements. >> it was kind of a mix of -- anger. they say 15 more minutes and people start laughing. we heard that before. by the

texas. two later flights that were in danger of being cancelled are still on the flight boards for now. three flights also cancelled. at of now oakland still looks ok, no cancellations of flights from texas to the bay area from that airport but as always keep an eye on it because that changes throughout the day. >> that story from the airport in dallas just got worse and worse and worse. >> i

western edge of san francisco, probably closer to the coast we saw areas around there with 4/10 inch but downtown san francisco didn't report that much. >> here's a look at the storm now over -- or off the coast of southern california. it will move east into arizona the next 24 hours or so. the next system dropping right along the bc coastline here will move along our stretch as we get into monday. but again it doesn't look like it's going to bring us much if any. i'll run you through monday and into monday, partly cloudy skies, mostly sunny in store for today. a few scattered showers

weather in areas. even the area of evergreen look picking up hail. let's look at the system. we talked about it. we had a very cold storm move through. we had that warmer air near the surface at least relatively warmer and that is when you get this very active weather. you get the thunderstorms, hail, the brief downpours, the sierra picked a great amount of snow. we'll look at the snowfall totals in the last 48 hours here in a little bit. here's the storm right in here off the southern california coastline. so scattered showers and thunderstorms in southern california today. before the system kicks off east . these numbers are cooler than where we started yesterday morning. we're already beginning to rebound with the mostly clear skies and sun shining. 53 walnut creek. as we get into the

definitely trying to work hard to make sure interstate 80 stayed in good shape over donner summit. some ski resorts reported more than a foot of snow since friday, then the snow actually turned to rain at the lower elevations and that was good news for the drivers that were headed to the resorts. >> we actually started putting our chains on our truck and we got told by one of the plow truck drivers oh hey, you don't have to chain up anymore. so we lucked out real big time. >> that does make it easier but check out these pictures. drivers going across sierra should have the dhains with them. we did just check, all drivers going across 50 to south lake lake tahoe will need to use chains in some areas unless they are using four wheel drive with snow tires. ski resort operators and water officials are happy with any amount of snow and rain but we're still way behind the curve when it comes to winter snow pack. i give you a good example of how far behind. this is the south yuba river in december. it should still look like that with the snow along the side, that river flowing but now let me given you a look at what it looks like now. even with this rain and snow yesterday, all this exposed rock on both sides, not what we want to see when it comes to this. that water level should also be higher. i've been through the area. you shouldn't be able to walk through there. should be closed but that is how bad it is. we're going to get an official look at the water picture on tuesday because that is when the next sierra snow survey is scheduled. it's important to note so far california only had two big storms this year and both were pretty warm so they just didn't drop that much snow. the snow survey is expected to confirm the fears that even the snow we do have up there doesn't have that much water in it which means likely water planners have to restrict releases from the reservoirs around the state again. >> thank you. tomorrow oakland's minimum wage has taken a big jump. workers in the city have to be paid at least $12.25 an hour. that is up from $9 an hour. this big pay hike is because voters overwhelmingly passed a proposition last november, the city's

party. house speaker john boehner pushed through a seven-day funding extense friday night hours before the department was to run out of money. local analysts say boehner needed democratic votes
