CONWAY — The first inch of snow in 19 days fell on the Mount Washington Valley Tuesday morning, but things quickly turned from white to wet with a wintry mix creating a mess for motorists and leading to the cancellation of multiple events.
The storm, dubbed Winter Storm Kade by the Weather Channel, is expected to last two days, wrapping up Friday night.
