CONWAY — So, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and aren’t we grateful for that?
The Thanksgiving Day 7-plus inches of snow were further aided by Thursday’s added 3-5 inches, accompanied by good, cool temperatures for snowmaking, setting us up in good stead as the all-important Christmas vacation week approaches in just two and a half weeks.
