Return to index of stories...
Carroll County officials say they should have gotten federal money to help clean up from the early March snowstorm. Seven counties in New Hampshire were declared federal disaster areas, making them eligible for federal funds. Carroll County was not on that list because there is no thorough way to measure snowfall there. Volunteer weather observers trained by the Weather Service reported Conway received ten inches of snow from March fifth
through seventh, but the Weather Service said it has received calls from other residents who reported they had two to three feet. A weather service Meteorologist says those reports couldn't be verified. County Legislators are asking the state Office of Emergency Management to help come up with a better way to gather accurate weather observations.
