CONWAY — Winter Storm Gail all but guaranteed all of New Hampshire will have its first white Christmas since 2018 as some part of the state received more than three feet of snow from a storm that walloped most of the northeast. Fortunately, the snow was light and fluffy in its consistency and easy to clean up.
Mount Washington Valley received more than the 3-5 inches of snow that was originally forecast, and at the time when SAU 9 Superintendent Kevin Richard had to make the call on whether have school, not a single flake had fallen as of 5 a.m.
