CONWAY — If you like snow, this is the storm you’ve been waiting for.
Winter Storm Harper is expected to dump more than a foot of snow, and possibly as much as 2 feet of pure powder on the Mount Washington Valley Saturday night through Sunday afternoon. It’s easily projected to be the biggest storm of the season so far and has the potential to be one of the largest in years.
