HAVERFORD – Haverford High didn’t need any extra motivation heading into its Thanksgiving clash with Upper Darby, but coach Luke Dougherty decided to add a spark by inviting one of the program’s all-time greats to address the team earlier in the week. Jack Donaghy, the 2015 Daily Times Player of the Year, shared his insights on the importance of the storied rivalry. Donaghy, who threw for a then-program record 5,296 yards during his illustrious career – a record broken by Jake Ruane in 2018 – was instrumental in leading the Fords to the Central League title his senior year. In a winner-take-all showdown with Upper Darby in 2015, Donaghy delivered a legendary performance with 307 passing yards, five touchdowns through the air and two more rushing scores, including a dramatic 19-yard run to the end zone with 18 seconds left to secure the victory. “Jack’s in town so he was gracious enough to come in and talk about the 2015 season and all of the prep work that goes into a rivalry game,” Dougherty said after practice Monday night. “He just reminded these guys what a big one it is, and they were excited to hear from him. Jack’s like a celebrity to them.” Nine years later, junior running back Liam Taylor is on the brink of making history of his own. With 2,741 rushing yards this season, Taylor is only 92 yards shy of breaking the Delaware County single-season rushing record, held by Abu Kamara of Interboro (2,832) since 2022. More significantly, a win on Thanksgiving would give Haverford a share of the Central League championship alongside Springfield and Strath Haven. “Obviously, this game is huge. This year it’s for the Central League, you know?” Taylor said. “Especially after the loss to North Penn (in the District 1 Class 6A tournament), we’re all focused to go out there and take our anger out and end the season with a big win.” Another key motivator for the Fords is their desire for redemption against Upper Darby after last season’s stinging loss. In that matchup, then-junior Jaylen Johnson led the Royals to a 16-15 victory in a battle of one-win teams. Johnson was unstoppable, rushing for 108 yards on 15 carries, scoring two touchdowns and converting a pair of two-point runs to earn Offensive MVP honors. Last season, Taylor was the Fords’ starting quarterback, and against UD he completed 6 of 11 passes for 109 yards and a 43-yard touchdown pass. He also ran for 70 yards and a score. After a decade without a win in the rivalry, Upper Darby has taken two of the last three meetings. Thursday’s game marks the 102nd edition of the series. “It’s definitely really special. The rivalry has been going on for over 100 years,” Taylor said. “This is our game, you know? Every single Haverford team before us has this game in common. And it’s the goal to win this game every year. Obviously, as a team you always have other goals, but this is the biggest one. And it’s even bigger for us because it’s for the Central League championship.” This season, both programs have taken significant strides forward. Haverford has seen a dramatic turnaround, going from 1-9 last year to 10-2. Upper Darby, while it failed to qualify for districts, has improved to 5-5 and closed the regular season with consecutive wins over Harriton and Lower Merion. The Royals will face the Fords after a month-long layoff since their last game. The Fords had hoped to push their playoff run past the second round, but fell to North Penn. Rather than dwell on the loss, they quickly shifted their focus to the Thanksgiving showdown. “Wins and losses aside, this group ... they love football,” Dougherty said. “This is like an easy sell to them because, one, the tradition of the game is amazing. Two, I think when we went out and practiced for the first time after the North Penn loss, we felt like we shot ourselves in the foot on both sides of the ball and on special teams, so these guys were like, let’s fix the mistakes and make sure we don’t make similar mistakes on Thanksgiving. That was their mindset pretty quickly. They bounced back. They were hurt by the North Penn loss, but motivated knowing that they’ve got one more ... and it’s a big one.” Whereas Taylor, with over 30 touchdowns, has been the Fords’ offensive superstar, senior defensive end Jake Lisicki has been a game-changer on the other side of the ball. Lisicki ranks among Pennsylvania’s top pass rushers with 15 sacks, which is a Haverford single-season record. He’s also tallied 39 tackles, forced two fumbles and snagged an interception. “I guess I’ve never been a guy who has played just one position. I played safety before and I switched positions coming into this season,” Lisicki said. “Once I knew I would be a defensive end for this year, I really knew what I had to do to hone in on and work on to become a better player.” On offense, Lisicki contributes as a blocking tight end, anchoring the edge for the run game. Lisicki has committed to Marist College. “It’s been great to be part of that group on offense,” he said. “I think most receivers might tell you they want to pass more, but I think it’s fun running the ball. I just like blocking people.” Dougherty knows that without players like Lisicki setting blocks, Taylor wouldn’t be knocking on the door of breaking the county’s rushing record. “He’s so physical, so long, and he’s a weight room kid. There’s a reason why he’s going to play Division I football, and it’s because he’s got all the ability in the world,” Dougherty said. “We were hard on him as a junior because we saw that potential. He worked hard in the weight room in the offseason and it’s really showed. He’s just an awesome kid and we’re really going to miss him next year.” The opening kickoff is set for 10 a.m. at A.G. Cornog Field. The Fords lead the series against the Royals with a 50-45-6 record. “Upper Darby has done a great job this year. They have great athletes over there,” Dougherty said. “We’re just excited to play a physical rivalry game that’s existed for over 100 years. It’s pretty cool to say that and get to be a part of it, too.”

Kacey Musgraves Reportedly Donates to Scholarship Fund After Hometown DramaThe leader of Sinn Fein has expressed determination to form a government of the left in Ireland as she insisted her party’s performance in the General Election had broken the state’s political mould. Despite Mary Lou McDonald’s confidence around shaping a coalition without Fine Gael and Fianna Fail – the two parties that have dominated the landscape of Irish politics for a century – the pathway to government for Sinn Fein still appears challenging. With counting following Friday’s election still in the relatively early stages – after an exit poll that showed the main three parties effectively neck-and-neck – there is some way to go before the final picture emerges and the options for government formation crystalise. Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader, Simon Harris, has dismissed talk of a Sinn Fein surge and said he was “cautiously optimistic” about where his party will stand after all the votes are counted. Meanwhile, Ireland’s deputy premier and Fianna Fail leader, Micheal Martin, insisted his party has a “very clear route back to government” as he predicted seat gains. The counting process could last days because of Ireland’s complex system of proportional representation with a single transferable vote (PR-STV), where candidates are ranked by preference. The early indications have turned the focus to the tricky arithmetic of government formation, as the country’s several smaller parties and many independents potentially jockey for a place in government. Ms McDonald told reporters at the RDS count centre in Dublin that she would be “very, very actively pursuing” the potential to form a government with other parties on the left of the political spectrum. The smaller, left-leaning parties in Ireland include the Social Democrats, the Irish Labour Party, the Green Party and People Before Profit-Solidarity. Ms McDonald said her party had delivered an “incredible performance” in the election. “I think it’s fair to say that we have now confirmed that we have broken the political mould here in this state,” she said. “Two party politics is now gone. It’s consigned to the dustbin of history and that, in itself, is very significant.” She added: “I am looking to bring about a government of change, and I’m going to go and look at all formulations. “If you want my bottom line, the idea of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael for another five years, in our strong opinion, is not a good outcome for Irish society. “Obviously, I want to talk to other parties of the left and those that we share very significant policy objectives with. So I’m going to do that first and just hear their mind, hear their thinking. But be very clear, we will be very, very actively pursuing entrance into government.” In Friday night’s exit poll, Sinn Fein was predicted to take 21.1% of first-preference votes, narrowly ahead of outgoing coalition partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fail at 21% and 19.5% respectively. Prior to the election, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael both ruled out entering government with Sinn Fein. Fine Gael leader Mr Harris rejected suggestions Sinn Fein had broken new ground. He told reporters in his count centre in Greystones, Co Wicklow: “Certainly we haven’t seen a Sinn Fein surge or anything like it. “I mean, it looks likely, on the figures that we’ve seen now, fewer people, many fewer people would have voted Sinn Fein in this election than the last one. “In fact, I think they’re down by around 5% and actually the parties, particularly the two parties, the two larger parties in government, are likely to receive significant support from the electorate. So definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented.” He said it was too early to tell what the next government would look like. “I think anybody who makes any suggestion about who is going to be the largest party or the construct of the next government, they’re a braver person than I am,” he said. “Our electoral system dictates that there’ll be many, many transfers that will go on for hours, if not days, before we know the final computations at all. “But what I am very confident about is that my party will have a very significant role to play in the years ahead, and I’m cautiously optimistic and excited.” Fianna Fail’s Mr Martin told reporters at a count centre in Cork he was confident that the numbers exist to form a government with parties that shared his political viewpoint. Mr Martin said it “remains to be seen” whether he would return to the role of Taoiseach – a position he held between 2020 and 2022 – but he expressed confidence his party would outperform the exit poll prediction. “It’s a bit too early yet to call the exact type of government that will be formed or the composition of the next government,” he said. “But I think there are, there will be a sufficiency of seats, it seems to me, that aligns with the core principles that I articulated at the outset of this campaign and throughout the campaign, around the pro-enterprise economy, around a positively pro-European position, a government that will strongly push for home ownership and around parties that are transparently democratic in how they conduct their affairs.” Asked if it would be in a coalition with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Social Democrats, he said that would be “racing a bit too far ahead”. The final result may dictate that if Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are to return to government, they may need more than one junior partner, or potentially the buy-in of several independent TDs. Mr Martin said it was unclear how quickly a government can be formed, as he predicted his party would gain new seats. “It will be challenging. This is not easy,” he added. The junior partner in the outgoing government – the Green Party – looks set for a bruising set of results. Green leader Roderic O’Gorman is in a fight to hold onto his seat, as are a number of party colleagues, including Media Minister Catherine Martin. “It’s clear the Green Party has not had a good day,” he said. The early counting also suggested potential trouble for Fianna Fail in Wicklow, where the party’s only candidate in the constituency, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, is considered to have a battle ahead, with the risk of losing his seat. Meanwhile, there is significant focus on independent candidate Gerard Hutch who, on Saturday evening, was sitting in fourth place in the four-seat constituency of Dublin Central. Last spring, Mr Hutch was found not guilty by the non-jury Special Criminal Court of the murder of David Byrne, in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud. Mr Byrne, 33, died after being shot six times at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in February 2016. A Special Criminal Court judge described Mr Hutch, 61, as the patriarchal figurehead of the Hutch criminal organisation and said he had engaged in “serious criminal conduct”. The constituency will be closely watched as other hopefuls wait to see if transfers from eliminated candidates may eventually rule him out of contention. In the constituency of Louth, the much-criticised selection of John McGahon appeared not to have paid off for Fine Gael. The party’s campaign was beset by questioning over footage entering the public domain of the candidate engaged in a fight outside a pub in 2018. The Social Democrats have a strong chance of emerging as the largest of the smaller parties. The party’s leader, Holly Cairns, was already celebrating before a single vote was counted however, having announced the birth of her baby girl on polling day.

Radical Jaguar rebrand and new logo sparks ire online NEW YORK (AP) — A promotional video for a rebrand of British luxury car brand Jaguar is being criticized online for showing models in brightly colored outfits — and no car. The rebrand, which includes a new logo, is slated to launch Dec. 2 during Miami Art Week, when the company will unveil a new electric model. But Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of India’s Tata Motors Ltd., has been promoting it online. The Jaguar brand is in the middle of a transition to going all-electric. “Copy Nothing,” marketing materials read. “We’re here to delete the ordinary. To go bold.

Kennedy was assassinated as his motorcade passed through downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Even after over six decades, conspiracy theories about what happened that day still swirl and the desire to follow every thread of information hasn’t waned. President-elect Donald Trump made promises over the summer that if reelected he would declassify the remaining records. At this point, only a few thousand of millions of pages of governmental records related to the assassination have yet to be fully released. And those who have studied what's been released so far say that the public shouldn’t anticipate any earth-shattering revelations even if the remaining files are declassified. Bitcoin is at the doorstep of $100,000 as post-election rally rolls on NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, rising above $98,000 for the first time Thursday. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. NFL issues security alert to teams and the players' union following recent burglaries The NFL has issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following recent burglaries involving the homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, the league says homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” Law enforcement officials noted these groups target the homes on days the athletes have games. Players were told to take precautions and implement home security measures to reduce the risk of being targeted. Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets. Penn State wins trademark case over retailer's use of vintage logos, images PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Penn State has won a closely watched trademark fight over an online retailer’s use of its vintage logos and images. A Pennsylvania jury awarded Penn State $28,000 in damages earlier this week over products made and sold by the firms Vintage Brand and Sportswear Inc. Penn State accused them of selling “counterfeit” clothing and accessories. The defendants said their website makes clear they are not affiliated with Penn State. At least a dozen other schools have sued the defendants on similar grounds, but the Pennsylvania case was the first to go to trial. Has a waltz written by composer Frederic Chopin been discovered in an NYC museum? NEW YORK (AP) — A previously unknown musical work written by composer Frederic Chopin appears to have been found in a library in New York City. The Morgan Library & Museum says the untitled and unsigned piece is the first new manuscript of the Romantic era virtuoso to be discovered in nearly a century. Robinson McClellan, the museum’s curator, says he stumbled across the work in May while going through a collection brought to the Manhattan museum years earlier. He worked with outside experts to verify the document's authenticity. But there’s debate whether the waltz is an original Chopin work or merely one written in his hand. Volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupts for the 7th time in a year GRINDAVIK, Iceland (AP) — A volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland is spewing lava from a fissure in its seventh eruption since December. Iceland's seismic monitors said the eruption started with little warning late Wednesday and created a long fissure but looked to be smaller than eruptions in August and May. Around 50 houses were evacuated after the Civil Protection agency issued the alert, along with guests at the famous Blue Lagoon resort, according to the national broadcaster. The repeated eruptions over the past year have caused damage to the town of Grindavík and forced people to relocate. Australian teen and British woman who drank tainted alcohol in Laos have died, bringing toll to 5 VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — An Australian teenager and a British woman have died after drinking tainted alcohol in Laos in what Australia’s prime minister said was every parent’s nightmare. Officials earlier said an American and two Danish tourists also had died following reports that multiple people had been sickened in town popular with backpackers. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Parliament that 19-year-old Bianca Jones had died after being evacuated from Vang Vieng, Laos, for treatment in a Thai hospital. Her friend, also 19, remains hospitalized in Thailand. Later Thursday, Britain said a British woman also died and the media in the U.K. identified her as 28-year-old Simone White.

Pop star Ed Sheeran helps favorite soccer team sign player before getting on stage with Taylor Swift It turns out British pop star Ed Sheeran is also good at recruiting soccer players. Sheeran is a minority shareholder at English soccer team Ipswich Town and it needed his help over the summer to get a player to join the club. Ipswich CEO Mark Ashton tells a Soccerex industry event in Miami: “Ed jumped on a Zoom call with him at the training ground, just before he stepped on stage with Taylor Swift. Hopefully that was a key part in getting the player across the line.” Ashton didn’t disclose the player in question, saying only: “He’s certainly scoring a few goals.”Despite Mary Lou McDonald’s confidence around shaping a coalition without Fine Gael and Fianna Fail – the two parties that have dominated the landscape of Irish politics for a century – the pathway to government for Sinn Fein still appears challenging.

: Hailing the Maharashtra poll verdict as a stamp of approval for good governance, social justice and development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said after the Haryana poll verdict, the Maharashtra verdict has also given a strong message of unity -- "Ek hain to safe hain". He slammed Congress and its "ecosystem" for spreading lies in the name of the Constitution and reservation and also pledged intensified efforts for its rapid development in Jharkhand. Addressing the BJP supporters at the party headquarters, Mr Modi acknowledged the efforts of Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar for the Mahayuti's poll performance. Slamming the Congress for its divisive politics, Mr Modi said the Congress betrayed the Constitution framers through its "jhootha secularism" for its appeasement politics. Noting that there is no provision for Waqf law in the Constitution, he said the Congress still formulated it for the "family's votebank to grow." "Maharashtra, the land of Chattrapati Maharaj, has once again shown how to confront appeasement politics. This is the biggest victory for any party or pre-poll alliance in the last 50 years... Maharashtra ne danke ki chot par kaha ki ek hain to safe hain (Maharashtra said in a firm voice that we are safe if we stay united)" asserted the PM. The PM said that Maharashtra punished those who try to divide people on caste, religion, language and regional lines. He said every section in the state voted for the BJP and the Mahayuti alliance. Mr Modi's mention of the Waqf law has come at a time when a Joint Parliamentary Committee is reviewing the bill to amend the Waqf Act. While the bill is facing stiff opposition from the INDIA bloc, Union home minister Amit Shah has made it clear that the existing Waqf Act will be amended. He even maintained that the amendment bill will be passed in the winter session of Parliament commencing on November 25. Reiterating his "parjivi" (parasite) jibe for the Congress, Mr Modi said the Opposition party is now reduced to being a parjivi in Indian politics due to its divisive politics and cannot form government on its own. He cited the Maha Vikas Aghadi's (MVA) performance to attack the Congress, saying not only itself, it also damages the prospects of its allies. Keeping its attack on the Congress, Mr Modi said after Independence, the framers of the Indian Constitution embraced "panth nirpekshta" (secularism) while respecting Hindu traditions, but the Congress twisted it into a false version of secularism. "The Congress has torn apart the secular spirit enshrined in our Constitution. The Constitution's framers embraced secularism while respecting Hindu traditions, but the Congress has twisted that into a false version of secularism. By sowing the seeds of appeasement, they have betrayed the very essence of our Constitution. They ignored Supreme Court rulings and created mechanisms like the Waqf Board to further their political agenda. This is nothing short of a betrayal of true secularism," said the PM. Mr Modi also spoke about the BJP's efforts to promote and preserve the Marathi language and culture, which he said the Congress failed to do despite being in power for decades. He insisted that respect for mother tongues, cultures and historical heritage is intrinsic to the BJP's character. He said Mahayuti will balance development and heritage of Maharashtra, the land of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shambhala Maharaj, B.R. Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule, Savitribai Phule and many such icons. Highlighting his vision for a "Viksit Bharat", the PM referred to the "Panch Pran" he introduced from the ramparts of the Red Fort, which included pride in India's heritage. Noting that Indian voters stand firmly with the principle of "nation first", the Prime Minister remarked that citizens across the country reject leaders and parties driven by a "kursi first" (power hungry) mentality . He said every state now favours a stable government and the Congress has failed to read the voters' minds. "This verdict also sends a strong message that the entire nation will adhere to only one Constitution, which is Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s Constitution. Congress and its allies attempted to revive Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, but Maharashtra made it clear that such efforts will not succeed. No power in the world can bring back Article 370," Mr Modi asserted. Calling out the Congress's "hypocrisy" Mr Modi said, “This election has exposed the double standards of the INDIA bloc. While the Congress allied with a faction of Balasaheb’s party for power, they refused to honour his ideology. I challenged the Congress’s allies to get the Congress to even speak a word in favor of Balasaheb’s policies, but they couldn’t. The Congress also repeatedly insulted Veer Savarkar. In Maharashtra, they momentarily halted their disrespect to seek votes but failed to recognise his sacrifices. This hypocrisy has revealed their true nature.” Continuing his attack on the Congress and the "family," Mr Modi said, “the Congress’s royal family’s hunger for power has distorted the idea of social justice. Once, Indira (Gandhi) Ji opposed casteism, but today, the Congress spreads casteism to satisfy its hunger for power. The Congress’s priority is now the family, not the people, which harms democracy." The Prime Minister claimed that there is growing outrage within the Congress because of the "family's hunger for power", which has destroyed the party. He also blamed the Congress for "urban naxalism" while pointing out that the remote control of this urban naxalism is outside India. Maintaining that the BJP is focused on construction, Mr Modi said the BJP-led NDA is also committed to providing new opportunities for youth across various sectors, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and startups. Concluding his speech, Mr Modi reinforced "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas", stating, "I have always said that we need to bring new youth into politics. Today, the NDA candidates without political family ties have earned voter trust, a promising sign... Elections come and go, but the BJP’s goal is to build a developed India. In just 10 years, we moved from the 10th to the 5th largest economy. Soon, India will be the 3rd largest. United, we will achieve every goal.”

(AP) — A major storm moving through Northern California on Thursday toppled trees and dropped heavy snow and record rain after damaging homes, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands in the Pacific Northwest. Forecasters warned that the risk of flash flooding and rockslides would continue, and scores of flights were canceled at San Francisco's airport. In Washington, nearly 265,000 people — mostly in the Seattle area — remained without power as crews worked to clear streets of electrical lines, fallen branches and debris. Utility officials said the outages, which began Tuesday, could last into Saturday. Meanwhile on the East Coast, where rare wildfires have raged, New York and New Jersey welcomed much-needed rain that could ease the fire danger for the rest of the year. The National Weather Service extended a flood watch into Saturday for areas north of San Francisco as the region was inundated by the strongest atmospheric river — a long plume of moisture that forms over an ocean and flows through the sky over land — this season. The system roared ashore Tuesday as a “ bomb cyclone ,” which occurs when a cyclone intensifies rapidly. It unleashed fierce winds that toppled trees onto roads, vehicles and homes, killing at least two people in the Washington cities of Lynnwood and Bellevue. Communities in Washington opened warming centers offering free internet and device charging. Some medical clinics closed because of power outages. “I’ve been here since the mid-’80s. I haven’t seen anything like this,” said Trish Bloor, who serves on the city of Issaquah’s Human Resources Commission, as she surveyed damaged homes. Up to 16 inches (about 41 centimeters) of rain was forecast in southwestern Oregon and California's northern counties through Friday. The Sonoma County Airport, in the wine country north of San Francisco, received 6.92 inches (17.5 centimeters) Wednesday, breaking a record from 1998. In nearby Forestville, one person was hurt when a tree fell on a house. Small landslides were reported across the North Bay, including one on State Route 281 on Wednesday that caused a car crash, according to Marc Chenard, a weather service meteorologist. Rain slowed somewhat, but “persistent heavy rain will enter the picture again by Friday morning,” the weather service's San Francisco office said on the social platform X. “We are not done!” Dangerous flash flooding, rockslides and debris flows were possible, especially where hillsides were loosened by recent wildfires, officials warned. Scott Rowe, a hydrologist with the weather service in Sacramento, said that so far the ground has been able to absorb the rain in Butte and Tehama counties, where the Park Fire burned this summer. “It’s not necessarily how much rain falls; it’s how fast the rain falls,” Rowe said. Northern Mendocino and southern Humboldt counties received between 4 and 8 inches (10 and 20 centimeters) of rain in the last 48 hours, and similar amounts were expected over the next 48 hours, forecasters said. Wind gusts could top 50 mph (80 kph). Santa Rosa Division Chief Fire Marshal Paul Lowenthal said 100 vehicles were stuck for hours in the parking lot of a hotel and medical center after a creek flooded Thursday afternoon. Emergency workers waded in thigh-high water. Some cars had to be towed after being flooded, but Lowenthal said a slight break in the rain could allow other vehicles to escape. A winter storm watch was in place for the northern Sierra Nevada above 3,500 feet (1,070 meters), with 15 inches (38 centimeters) of snow possible over two days. Wind gusts could top 75 mph (121 kph) in mountain areas, forecasters said. Sugar Bowl Resort, north of Lake Tahoe near Donner Summit, picked up a foot (30 centimeters) of snow overnight, marketing manager Maggie Eshbaugh said Thursday. She said the resort will welcome skiers and boarders on Friday, the earliest opening date in 20 years. “And then we’re going to get another whopping of another foot or so on Saturday, so this is fantastic,” she said. Another popular resort, Palisades Tahoe, is also opening Friday, five days ahead of schedule, according to its website. The storm already dumped more than a foot of snow along the Cascades in Oregon by Wednesday night, according to the weather service. Forecasters warned of blizzard and whiteout conditions and nearly impossible travel at pass level. More than a dozen schools closed in the Seattle area Wednesday, and some opted to extend the closures through Thursday. In Enumclaw, east of Seattle, residents were cleaning up after their town clocked the highest winds in the state Tuesday night: 74 mph (119 kph). Sophie Keene said the powerful gusts caused transformers to blow out. “Things were exploding, like, everywhere,” Keene told the Seattle Times. “Like the transformers over by the park. One blew big, it looked like fireworks.” Ben Gibbard, lead singer of the indie rock bands Death Cab for Cutie and Postal Service, drove from his Seattle neighborhood Thursday morning to the woods of Tiger Mountain for his regular weekday run, but there were too many trees blocking the trail. “We didn’t get hit that hard in the city,” he said. “I just didn’t assume it would be this kind of situation out here. Obviously you feel the most for people who had their homes partially destroyed by this.” In California, there were reports of more than 21,000 power outages Thursday. Only 50 vehicles per hour were allowed through part of northbound Interstate 5 from 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Redding to 21 miles (34 kilometers) south of Yreka due to snow, according to California's Department of Transportation. Transportation officials also shut down a two-mile (3.2 kilometer) stretch of the famed Avenue of the Giants, a scenic drive named for its towering coast redwoods, due to flooding. About 150 flights were delayed and another two dozen were canceled early Thursday at San Francisco International Airport after hundreds of delays and dozens of cancelations the previous day, according to tracking service FlightAware. Parched areas of the Northeast got a much-needed shot of precipitation Thursday, providing a bit of respite in a region plagued by wildfires and dwindling water supplies. More than 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain was expected by Saturday morning in areas north of New York City, with snow mixed in at higher elevations. “Any rainfall is going to be significant at this point,” said Brian Ciemnecki, a weather service meteorologist in New York City, where the first drought warning in 22 years was issued this week. “Is it going to break the drought? No, we’re going to need more rain than that.” Har reported from San Francisco, and Weber from Los Angeles.
