Norristown’s Geno Auriemma Leads UConn to Historic Victory
Geno Auriemma, a Norristown native and head coach of UConn women’s basketball, became the winningest coach in college basketball history with his 1,217th victory. Starting in 1985 with a struggling program, Auriemma built a dynasty that includes 11 national championships and 23 Final Four appearances. At 70, he remains a dominant figure in the sport, celebrated for his demanding yet transformative coaching style.
Rain and Snow to Impact Thanksgiving Travel Across the Northeast
The Northeast is set to face significant weather impacts during Thanksgiving week, with rain expected along the I-95 corridor and snowfall possible in parts of northern New Hampshire, Maine, and the Adirondacks. Recent storms have brought much-needed precipitation to the region, easing drought conditions and aiding ski resorts, but heavy snow has caused power outages in areas like Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains and New York’s Catskills. While the storm may disrupt holiday travel, forecasters predict better conditions by the weekend.
