North Dakota Highway Patrol Captain Brain Niewind says during the blizzard west of Jamestown, troopers rescued more than a dozen people who went around the road closure gates and got stuck near Medina.

Other drivers were stuck on state roads in other parts of Stutsman County including the City of Jamestown.

Jamestown Street crews went out early Tuesday morning opening arterials and the Snow Emergency Routes.

The crews have begun clearing residential streets, that were snow-clogged, with numerous stuck vehicles in high snow drifts.  The city advised no travel during the blizzard.

Niewind adds citations are given to motorists who drive around storm gates to the Interstate, pointing out that eight citations were issued in Stutsman County during the recent blizzard that led to the North Dakota interstates being closed .

Each citation is a  $250 fine.

Valley City has started their snow removal process in the northwest portion of the city and will work clockwise to the northeast section then to the southeast and wrap up in the southwestern section of the city.
