For us PNW and CA folks.

Sounds like the storm predicted for the next couple days could be a good one.

"Could" get a lot of snow up high.

"Could" have flooding in the cities.

"Could" have mudslides.

"Could" have high winds, downed trees, power outages.

Me? I'm working on it today.

*My generator is ready to go, since power outage isn't that unusual in the foothills.

*Just started on cleaning gutters (again).

*Securing lots of loose stuff, since the wind can rock out here.

How about you? Are you doing anything to prepare?

Is there really anything special about this storm, or are they just hyping it because they haven't had a regular storm in awhile and its a slow news time? I don't get the cali news where I am. I'm hoping y'all get a nice big dump.

this is accuweathers forecast for Yosemite. Doesn't sound like much.

weather underground is saying Yosemite gets less then an inch. That hardly gets the ground wet. Yet they have a flood warning up. Sounds like typical california hype. Plus they just don't know.

Meh, only 60 mph winds predicted for the coast up here. Last year they were over 100 sustained. Couple years before they were hitting 125 when my neighbors anemometer blew off his roof. I think that was the year that the neighbor house blew apart and was all over the neighborhood. I always have 5 gallons extra gasoline stocked, candles and headlamps, all camping gear etc.

Ca needs this bad, so may it dump more rain than your reservoirs can hold but not cause any problems for y'all.

Looks like we're going to be getting up to a foot of rain in some areas here. So, yeah, scuba gear on standby.

This is from wunderground's warning for the Seattle region:

...Heavy rainfall tonight through Wednesday will lead to an increase risk of landslides in western Washington... ...Strong winds possible across western Washington on Thursday...

Heavy rainfall of 9 to 13 inches in the Olympics and north Cascades with generally 2 to 6 inches elsewhere is expected during the two and half day period ending late Wednesday night. This amount of rain will put extra pressure on soil instability... leading to an increased risk of landslides.

I'll be driving to work in my new Subaru Forester on Thursday, if the Golden Gate bridge hasn't been closed due to high winds. I'm wondering how different it will feel to drive in storm conditions in an AWD. We had the tree guys here last year to clear out old dead stuff so I am hoping we won't get anything falling on the house.

John M

climber

Dec 9, 2014 - 08:16pm PT

Congrats on the new forester!

The forester has a competent AWD, but its the tires that make a bigger difference in simply wet conditions. My friend spun out 2 times in a few weeks on icy roads in her new outback. I looked up the tires she had on it and they were meant for places like florida. They had a very poor rating on snow and ice. They put a fairly wide variety of tires on those vehicles. If you have been driving a front wheel drive, you might not notice much difference on wet roads. But if you have been driving a rear wheel drive, and it rains a lot, then there are times when you might notice that it pulls through deeper standing water better. It also sort of depends on how aggressive of a driver that you are. AWD won't help you stop. It will help you steer. Good tires are what help you stop.

I agree with John. Tires are everything when it comes to control on the road.

I ski and drive to the snow a lot in winter, and really like the Nokian WR G2s. They have a split tread pattern that works super well in slush and prevents hydroplaning. Perfect for the varied conditions driving from warmer temps to the Sierra. I leave them on year round.

The new model WR G2 is the Nokian All Weather +. http://www.nokiantyres.com/winter-tyres/nokian-all-weather-/

Am not trying to be a commercial.... its about what rubber sticks to the road.

One sad thing about tires is the way they name them. Bridgestone used to make 5 different versions of the Potenza. They were used as stock tires on a lot of vehicles. Some of the versions got an okay rating on snow and ice, but others had a very hard rubber for driving on hot highways. Those versions were great for lots of miles on hot roads, but very poor in winter conditions. The problem was that people would see that a Potenza tire did decent on snow and ice in some tire review and they wouldn't realize that there were different versions of it. Thats what happened to my friend.

I sure hope this storm goes a little further south.

hey Daphne, I'm not saying that you have lousy tires. You may have good ones. Its just good to know what you have as that is the main component of stopping on wet roads.

As for the reservoirs. They have plenty of room. some of the bigger ones are meant to take 3 years of wet weather to fill. Such as Shasta.

Tires are the most underestimated and important part of your car, no other part touches the road. The best brakes in the world will be cancelled out on poor tires, the best AWD system will be cut far below potential on poor tires.

Potenza is a product line, not a tire model. There are many potenza models, from crap to top shelf. There are some A/S potenza, but are generally not exceptional tires (except at the upper level, when they are actually quite good), mediocre in the wet, dry, and light snow, they do nothing exceptionally well, but arent BAD. There are A/S, performance, and competition potenzas. Its just a word, like turanza and blizzak. Off the top of my head I can count a dozen potenza models.

Subaru is famous for putting poor tires on their cars. Ive had 7 subarus. I also have a new Forester, it comes on yokohama geolandar G91F (geolandar is similar to potenza in that its a name applied to many tires of different models). They are also quite mediocre, not bad, but painfully droll in the wet, dry, off road, and light snow, have poor treadwear characteristics, and are expensive to buy (though you never would, better tires can be had for cheaper). They have become known as 'geoscreamers' for their tendency to be hugely loud and screamy when pushed even moderately toward their limit. Youd think you were cornering 5g's. They are also poor in the snow, but again, not BAD if you only hit snow occasionally. Ive swapped them for winter tires, they are hopeless up here. They will go back on in may or june.

When you put better tires on your subaru, it really becomes a wonderful car. For reference, heres the original tire for the new forester base, premium, and limited, not touring or XT:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Geolandar+G91F&partnum=26HR7GEOHT&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Subaru&autoYear=2015&autoModel=Forester&autoModClar=2.5i%20Premium&tab=Survey

Compare that to the winter tire I use on both my subarus and my girlfriends subaru as well:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Ultra+Grip+Ice+WRT&partnum=26SR7UGIWRTV2&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Subaru&autoYear=2015&autoModel=Forester&autoModClar=2.5i%20Premium&tab=Survey

They have been putting crappy tires on cars for decades, as they are a small company and most manufacturers do the same. My WRX came with incredibly poor Potenza RE92, a widely known poor tire. Ive conversely used both potenza RE010 and S-04 on the same car, and both were brilliant, yet summer only, tires.

hey there say, survival and all... hope you all do well as it passes through...

say, john m, and kunlun_shan... thanks for this:

Good tires are what help you stop.

and, all the tire info...

sadly, i do not even know WHAT kind of tires i have, and we are

Go here: tirerack.com put in your vehicle info, it will show you what your car came with, and what they have for your car. You can click winter or original equipment, whatever you need. The goodyear snow tires are very good and are on rebate right now, along with other brands. OE tires are generally overpriced as a moneymaker, since most people just say 'put another set of whatevers on there' without any thought.

You can also go here to learn and dork out. Read the beginning of it, the user posts are just like here, most of them dont know what the crap they are talking about, cant spell or type, and just muck it up, but the beginning, from the author is sound.

Eagerly awaiting! Bring it! We really need the rain.

Just hope it doesn't bring mud slides to the burn area of Glendora.

Split system. Ain't gonna happen...here in western WY. Unless we get some orographic enhancement, we are looking at 6 to 12". That's all. But that's OK we've already had 111" of snow this season. Good luck cali folks hope you get it.

Getting windy in Santa Cruz. Very minimal spotty rain with the wind. According to friends it's headed on up and over the SC Mountains.
Got my gutters clean and my gore tex out. I'll go tromp around where there aren't a lot of branches. I have an open field hill behind my house where I can do my "walking in the rain" stitcht.
Awfully warm. I sure hope the mtns get a snow dump..
