Rain and snow will change to all snow Monday evening, with travel
\nimpacts becoming more likely as the evening and overnight hours
\nprogress.<\/p>\n

Accumulating snow will cause travel impacts through the Tuesday
\ncommute time frame and into at least the midday hours. Snow is
\nexpected to persist through the day and into Tuesday night before
\nwinding down through the overnight period.<\/p>\n

Ground temperatures are rather warm and snowfall accumulations will be dependent on snowfall rates.
\nHeavier snowfall rates will likely accumulate, while lighter
\nsnowfall rates will lead to melting as the snow reaches the ground.
\nSeveral rounds of heavier snowfall are expected during this period,
\nlikely leading to slushy accumulation followed by melting. Travel
\nmay be impacted at times due to snow and lower visibilities, so be
\nsure to check the latest forecast and road conditions before
\ntraveling over the next few days.<\/p>\n

Valley City is a Municipal Power Community and through Missouri River Energy Services (MRES), our electrical rates have been very reasonable and are expected to remain stable for many years to come.\u00a0MRES\u2019 leadership has utilized long range planning so that base load power generation along with renewable energy (hydro, wind, and solar) combined with hedge purchases of market power have enabled members like Valley City to avert increased energy costs during the polar vortex.\u00a0In fact, MRES\u2019 power generation exceeded needs during the polar vortex allowing MRES to realize financial gains.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nicer weather is bringing more people out to enjoy Valley City parks, the Sheyenne River, shared use paths etc.\u00a0People who are out on bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, walking and jogging need to enjoy their activities safely.\u00a0Drivers need to be prudent about safety too.\u00a0There are a number of drivers going too fast for conditions, speeding and going through stop signs.\u00a0\u201cStop\u201d means to \u201ccease motion\u201d versus slowing or rolling through.\u00a0Please everyone, respect each other and be safe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are still in a drought!\u00a0Over the weekend where there had been an inch of rain, a person though it would be okay to burn.\u00a0The decision resulted in a runaway fire and a call to the fire department.\u00a0Wait a bit longer, DO NOT burn yet!<\/p>\n

    BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Gov. Doug Burgum will be faced with some politically tricky legislation once lawmakers finish their work on several unsettled measures and budget bills as the Legislature enters its final weeks. Conference committees rule at the North Dakota state Capitol this week, as legislators work to reconcile differing versions of bills endorsed in both chambers. Some of the more contentious issues still in play include bills that appeal to North Dakota\u2019s ultra-conservative base, such as a measure to allow the Ten Commandments to be posted in schools and anti-mask legislation that the Republican will no doubt see as an encroachment on his executive authority.<\/p>\n

    \"\"BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A new survey of the bighorns herd in western North Dakota shows it has rebounded from an outbreak of bacterial pneumonia seven years ago to reach record numbers. The state Game and Fish Department\u2019s survey says the herd south of Interstate 94, however, continues to struggle and and is at its smallest size in about two decades, the survey showed. The count shows 322 bighorns, up 11% from 2019 and 13% above the five-year average. About 40 bighorns in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and sheep recently introduced to the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation aren\u2019t included in the count.<\/p>\n

    MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 George Floyd\u2019s brother shed tears on the witness stand Monday as he was shown a picture of his late mother and a young George. \u201cI miss both of them,\u201d 39-year-old Philonise Floyd said at the murder trial of former Officer Derek Chauvin. Prosecutors put him on the stand to humanize George Floyd in front of the jury and make him more than a crime statistic.<\/p>\n

    BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (AP) \u2014 The police chief in a Minneapolis suburb where a Black man was fatally shot during a traffic stop says he believes the officer who fired intended to use a Taser, not a handgun. Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright as \u201can accidental discharge.\u201d Wright died Sunday in Brooklyn Center, a city of about 30,000 people on the northwest border of Minneapolis. His death sparked violent protests, with officers in riot gear clashing with demonstrators into Monday morning. The Minneapolis area was already on edge because of the trial of the first of four police officers charged in George Floyd\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

    \"\"MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 The Minnesota Twins have postponed their game against the Boston Red Sox because of safety concerns following the fatal police shooting of a Black man in a nearby suburb. The Red Sox and Twins were scheduled for a four-game series beginning Monday afternoon at Target Field. The Twins made their decision in consultation with Major League Baseball and state and local officials. There was no word yet about rescheduling or the status of games set for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Daunte Wright was killed Sunday when a police officer in Brooklyn Center fired a handgun instead of a stun gun after a traffic stop.<\/p>\n

    (AP)\u00a0 A Black football player at a northwest Illinois high school is seen on video sitting down in a locker littered with banana peels after a teammate threatens to break his knees if he doesn’t comply. Moline Police Chief Darren Gault called the incident at Moline High School a \u201cdisturbing racist scene.\u201d Detectives interviewed student athletes, coaches and staff members over the weekend and turned their findings over to prosecutors. The investigation centers on an 11-second video clip in which another player, whose hand can be seen but face doesn\u2019t appear, threatens the Black player to sit in the locker \u201cor I\u2019ll break both your knees.\u201d When the player sits down, others can be heard shouting, \u201cYeah!\u201d<\/p>\n

    WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Biden administration has struck an agreement with a trio of Central American nations to temporarily surge troops to their borders in an effort to reduce the tide of immigration to the U.S. border. According to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Mexico will maintain a deployment of about 10,000 troops, while Guatemala has surged 1,500 police and military personnel to its southern border and Honduras deployed 7,000 police and military to its border \u201cto disperse a large contingent of migrants\u201d there. A White House official said that Guatemala and Honduras were deploying troops temporarily, in response to a large caravan of migrants that was being organized at the end of March.<\/p>\n

    WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 More than three months after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, Congress is still trying to figure out how to move forward and prevent future attacks. A top priority for lawmakers is deciding what to do with the tall black fence that has surrounded the Capitol since Jan. 6. Another focus is the Capitol Police, who were badly outnumbered that day. The House Administration Committee, which oversees the Capitol Police, is holding a hearing Thursday to examine an internal agency report looking at the mistakes that were made. A separate panel is investigating the insurrection and questioning law enforcement leaders about how to move forward.<\/p>\n

    WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. government\u2019s budget deficit surged to an all-time high of $1.7 trillion for the first six months of this budget year. That’s nearly double the previous record, as another round of economic-support checks added billions of dollars to spending last month.
