CONWAY — Despite heavy rains and gusty winds last Friday, Conway fared relatively well with Winter Storm Elliott. In Ossipee, however, nearly 400 Electric Co-Op customers were still without power on Monday.
Conway Emergency Manager Stephen Solomon said last week he was the storm to bring 45-mile winds and 2-3 inches of rain.
