CONWAY â The Christmas Eve and Christmas Day storm brought heavy rain and some flooding of local streams and rivers and caused snowpack cover to melt prior to the start of vacation week, but the storm did not drop as much precipitation as forecasted.
âWe got 1.34 inches here at the station but they had predicted more than 2 inches. That combined with there being less snow on the ground made it less impactful than predicted,â said Conway Village Fire Chief Steve Solomon Monday, as a light snow fell.
Local U.S. cooperative weather observer Ed Bergeron reported 1.69 inches on Christmas Eve and another .9 inches on Christmas Day for a total of 2.59 inches at his West Side Road North Conway weather station.

Unfortunately, at least for the 2020-21 season, those days are a thing of the past.
Planning ahead is the name of the game during COVID-19 when it comes to skiing and snowboarding at New Hampshire alpine ski areas, including Bennington’s Crotched Mountain Ski and Ride, which plans to open Saturday.
“Know Before You Go” is the campaign Ski New Hampshire, which has 30 resorts as members, is touting this year.
