The town of Conway may have skipped an official tree lighting this year, but that doesn’t mean there’s any less Christmas spirit. If you happened to drive by the Swift River Bridge and enjoyed the Christmas lights that illuminate it, thank CED Conway. The business got permission from the town to decorate the bridge, which is located by Washington street. CED began putting lights on the bridge in early November. CED’s manager Nick Swan and volunteer Mike Lane were the two who did the work.

It’s Mountain Meister Information Night at Cranmore. Kevin Hamlin says the night will highlight the details of the annual skiing series. Kevin Hamlin says, “We’ll go over all the changes that we’re doing this year. More for the captains and then any newbies coming in. You know, learn about Mountain Meisters. And then we’re going to show a ski film, ‘the collective.’” Organizers say Zip’s pub will also be open during the presentation. The meeting is at 6:30 tonight.

Maine closed all State Offices today and Moultonborough says their Town Clerks office will be closed from noon until 2:30pm tomorrow. The announcements come as the southern parts of New England were being hammered by a winter storm that many found lacking by the time it reached the Mt. Washington Valley. The National Weather Service reported 1-to-3 inches of possible snow accumulation for N. Conway today, just enough to make the roads a little slick but far short of the onslaught many skiers and snowboarders were hoping for to aid the start of the season. More snow may be on the way this coming Thursday.
