Frigid waters recede in flooded Nevada town as storms leave parts of West cold and dark

FERNLEY, Nev. (AP) -
More residents who fled nearly 300 homes after a canal's earthen levee flooded hoped to return today, but faced contending with the damage left by the wave of frigid water that crashed through the town.
Some residents were permitted to return Sunday, and authorities hoped more could come back as waters recede in this northern Nevada desert town hard-hit by a West Coast storm system that piled up to 11 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains and toppled nearly 500 miles of power lines in California.

Fanatical fans: One big party for tailgaters outside Superdome
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP National Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -
Having staked out her spot in a nondescript parking lot a couple of blocks from the Superdome, Jan White shook her head as she looked around.
All those million-dollar homes on wheels. All those 50-inch televisions blaring away. All those enormous grocery bills that must be paid to keep the grills a-grillin' and the coolers packed with beer.
"I'm a bookkeeper by trade," White said. "When I look at these people, I'm like, 'Where did all this money come from?"'
Then again, she's right there in the middle of it. When White heard that a store in Baton Rouge - a 150-mile round trip from New Orleans - had gotten in a supply of large, inflatable LSU helmets Saturday morning, she jumped in the car with a friend and hustled off to buy one.

TIFFIN -
It was a situation Tiffin Columbian's Megan Depinet and her teammates had worked on countless times before in practice.
But never were the stakes as high as they were in Saturday afternoon's game against Upper Sandusky.
With the game hanging in the balance and only 8.5 seconds remaining in regulation, the Tornadoes worked the ball up the floor to the wide open junior, who swished a long jumper from just inside the 3-point line as the final buzzer sounded to secure a 44-42 Northern Ohio League victory against the Rams.
