BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Much of the western Dakotas is under a winter storm warning, as heavy snow and strong winds pound the area.

The National Weather Service says central North Dakota could get up to a foot of snow by tonight, with strong winds reducing visibility. The Bismarck area already had 9 inches by late Monday afternoon while Hannover had 13 inches.

Dozens of schools in the Dakotas are starting late or canceling classes during the second day of a winter storm pounding the region.

The National Weather Service has posted various winter weather warnings and advisories for the two states. Forecasters say in central North Dakota, snowfall amounts of 10-18 inches will be common by the time the storm moves out Wednesday.

Northwestern South Dakota and the northern Black Hills could see a foot or more of snow.

Strong wind blowing the snow around is making travel dangerous. A travel alert has been issued for western North Dakota, advising motorists to beware of conditions. Dozens of accidents occurred in the Bismarck area Monday.

Dickinson State University in southwestern North Dakota canceled classes and closed administrative offices Tuesday due to the storm.

The “No Excuses” program was created by JRMC, Central Valley Health District and North Dakota Women’s Way to fund breast cancer screenings.

The program covers mammograms for uninsured or underinsured women.

Many insurance providers only cover the cost of a 2-D mammogram, but the program also pays the difference so all women can get a 3-D mammogram.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A standing-room only crowd filled a library in Bismarck, North Dakota, during a public forum about tribal opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline.

Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault joined tribal youth during the meeting sponsored by the Dakota Resource Council.

He said officials didn’t listen to tribal concerns about a plan to drill under the Missouri River near the reservation boundary for a section of the four-state, $3.8 billion pipeline. Archambault called it “history repeating itself,” a reference to other clashes between the federal government and tribes involving various treaties.

Dakota Resource Council Executive Director Don Morrison said the speakers at the meeting represent “critically important voices that aren’t being heard.”

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A government order for protesters of the Dakota Access pipeline to leave federal land could have little immediate effect on the encampment where scores of people have been gathered for months to oppose the $3.8 billion project. A North Dakota sheriff calls the deadline a meaningless move aimed only at reducing the government’s legal responsibility for the encampment. The Corps says the land will be closed to the public for “safety concerns” starting Dec. 5.

 

SEATTLE (AP) — Religious leaders are calling for a federal hate-crime investigation after a Muslim student at the University of Washington reported being struck in the face with a glass bottle this month.
