CONWAY — Snow lovers got an unexpected bonus on Thursday, as more than twice the amount of snow forecast for the Mount Washington Valley fell on the area.
The storm, which lasted roughly eight hours from 4 a.m.-noon, led to the cancellation of school in Conway for the first time this school year, while students in SAU 13 had their first Blizzard Bag Day.
