CONWAY — Outages caused by downed tree limbs due to heavy snow led to school closures Monday, and many Eversource and New Hampshire Electric Co-operative customers were still without power as of press time.
“We originally were going to have a two-hour delay but then because of the power outages, we decided to cancel school altogether,” said School Superintendent Kevin Richard Monday afternoon.
