Recreational area and environmentalists who have been pushing for these new rules that would eliminate off leash areas. Woofieleaks uses documents from a federal freedom of information act and one of the allegations, that park Service Staff deleted administrative record emails, used personal email accounts for agency business, and had missing administrative record files. Now, the plan from the feds to ban unleashed dogs from much of the Golden Gate NationalRecreational Area includes ocean beach, fort funston, chris see field and baker beach. Dog owners have been fighting this proposal for years. Classically reduce pet access here is just tough on locals here. One of the great things about being a resident in San Francisco is having the beach and being able to bring your dog here, as well. Reporter heres the plan specifically for crissy field. The blue area marks places where dogs would have to be leashed. The yellow shows the new voice and sight control areas which means dogs can be off leash staying close to owners. Ocean beach would be hit harder. 80 of the area where dogs can currently run free would be turned into a leashrequired zone. So this woofieleaks is a last ditch effort by people who want to advocate for off leash areas to change the feds minds before they make that final decision on january 10. Live at crissy field, anne makevoc, kpix 5. We are under a storm watch this morning. There is so much snow in the mountains, there is an avalanche warning at many ski resorts. A lot of the slopes are closed as crews work to trigger controlled slides. Alpine meadows and donner ski ranch completely shut down. And parts of heavenly, squaw valley, kirkwood and sierra at tahoe were forced to close. Roberta is tracking this snowstorm up there. Whats so amazing is i always have people email me or on facebook or twitter asking me, when is a good time to travel up to the tahoe area . And i try to give them the Weather Forecast and let them make their own decision. I dont like to give advice. But in this case i have had people ask me when can they come back home because they are stuck in the tahoe area. And yeah, it was a blizzard there yesterday. 80 to 100mileanhour winds in the highest elevations. Today we still have one to three inches of snow expected there. But theres a whole lot more coming. Take a look at our computer model. It suggests at this particular time over the weekend, we are going to see significant snowfall up to 11 feet of snow in donner summit. However, this is about 8500 feet to 9,000 feet in elevation. At lake level, we are forecasting 18 inches of rain so there will be significant flooding at the lake level. Please be very mindful of that if you are going to be traveling to the high sierra. Today is a great day to ski still, one, two, three inches of snow. Tomorrow bluebird sky.

Now, the county director says you know what . For people who live here, um, you know, prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.
