The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Highway Patrol have LIFTED the<\/b> No Travel Advisories <\/b>for North Dakota including the cities of Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Bismarck, Jamestown, Valley City, Fargo, Wahpeton, and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

All travelers are encouraged to monitor road conditions as weather conditions occur and use caution while traveling. For road information, call 511 from any type of phone or go to the website: www.dot.nd.gov<\/a>. \u00a0NDDOT releases information to inform the public about travel conditions throughout the state. The three categories are as follows:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TRAVEL ALERT<\/b> \u2013 Motorists can still travel but may encounter areas of challenging winter weather driving conditions on roadways. Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination and be
\nalert to conditions that may make travel difficult, change rapidly, or cause travel delays. A TRAVEL ALERT has the potential to change to a NO TRAVEL ADVISED if conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NO TRAVEL ADVISED<\/b> \u2013 Motorists should not travel due to hazardous conditions which may make it unsafe to travel.\u00a0Snowplows may be pulled from the roads during severe conditions. Motorists should take NO TRAVEL ADVISED seriously as those motorists who choose to travel at their own risk may become stranded and emergency responders may not be able to reach them safely. A NO TRAVEL ADVISED has the potential to change to a ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED if conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED<\/b> \u2013 Motorists are not allowed to travel on a closed road due to life threatening conditions.\u00a0The road may be impassible or blocked.\u00a0Motorists who drive past a road closure device may be fined up to $250.<\/p>\n

Please be advised that road condition information on 511 and the travel map is updated daily from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. CDT. The road report is based upon the information available to the NDDOT at the time of preparation and is provided solely as a public service. Conditions may vary from those reported.<\/p>\n

If you become stranded, motorists should stay with their vehicle and call 911 for emergency assistance.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0Jamestown, (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown Regional Airport Manager, Matt Leitner says Jamestown and Devils Lake were informed, on Monday (Jan 27, 2014) \u00a0that Great Lakes intends to discontinue commercial air service effective February 1, 2014.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leitner adds, due to a lack of qualified pilots\u00a0Great Lakes is \u00a0drastically scaling back Minneapolis St. Paul operations and exiting many markets.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0For affected markets, fares will be refunded and tickets will no longer be sold.<\/p>\n

Letiner points\u00a0 that\u00a0the North Dakota \u00a0congressional delegation and North Dakota Aeronautics Commission have been apprised of the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On\u00a0Monday,\u00a0Jamestown Regional Airport Authority Chairman Jim Boyd, Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen and\u00a0Leitner will be participating in a conference call with Devils Lake, North Dakota\u00a0Aeronautics, the federal congressional delegation and the U.S. Department of Transportation\u00a0at 3PM on Monday January 27, 2014.<\/p>\n

Officials in both Devils Lake and Jamestown earlier endorsed a switch from Great Lakes to SkyWest Airlines to provide service under the federal Essential Air Service program. Great Lakes provides service on turboprop planes, while SkyWest flies jets. The federal Department of Transportation has the final say,and has until February 6, 2014, to make a decision on either of the two airlines making bids on the Jamestown EAS package, the present carrier, Great Lakes Airlines, or SkyWest.<\/p>\n

The federal Department of Transportation has the final say.<\/p>\n

Starting Monday, Jan 20, Great Lakes Airline reduced service to only 1 flight a day from and to Minneapolis, Sunday through Friday. There are no flights on Saturday. This brings the total weekly flights to 6, on the 19 passenger Beech 1900 turbo-prop.<\/p>\n

Valley City (CSi) Valley City\u00a0Public Works crews\u00a0began snow removal \u00a0from emergency routes Sunday and then\u00a0planned to move to\u00a0\u00a0the downtown business section\u00a0 at midnight Sunday night or early Monday, January 27, 2014.<\/p>\n

\n

Public Works Director Jeff Differding\u00a0 asks\u00a0 Valley City residents to remove their vehicle from city streets\u00a0 so crews could clear snow.<\/p>\n

Differding says\u00a0after \u00a0snow is cleared\u00a0 downtown\u00a0 crews will begin removing snow in the southwest section of\u00a0Valley city\u00a0and work clockwise for snow removal.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) the Jamestown City Engineer\u2019s Office is informing residents, that City crews\u00a0began snow removal in the DOWNTOWN<\/strong> area beginning approximately at 11:00 p.m. \u2013 Sunday<\/strong>,\u00a0 and continued during the night.<\/p>\n

Residential area <\/strong>snow removal will begin at approximately 9:00 am Tuesday<\/strong> morning, January 28, 2014, and continue during normal working hours.<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE:<\/p>\n

The above schedule is contingent upon changing weather conditions and snow accumulation totals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0NDHP, CSi\u00a0 On\u00a0 Sunday January 26, 2014 at approximately 1110 A.M. troopers responded to multiple crashes involving 8 vehicles on I-94 MP 244 in the east bound lane approximately 15 miles west of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

High winds caused blowing snow and near zero visibility conditions. A pickup pulling a flatbed trailer was rear ended by a semi. The semi then crashed into the back of another semi, blocking I-94. Several other crashes occurred at the same location, involving 3 additional semi\u2019s and 3 vehicles.<\/p>\n

One subject was transported by the Jamestown Ambulance service to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center with injuries.<\/p>\n

Approximately 30 vehicles were blocked by the crashes and later detoured around the crash.<\/p>\n

The crashes remain under investigation.<\/p>\n

The blizzard caused\u00a0 the closure of Interstate 94 from Bismarck to Fargo and the closure of Interstate 29 from Canada to South Dakota.\u00a0 Also closed Sunday was Highway 83 from Minot to Bismarck.<\/p>\n

Before I-94 closed,\u00a0 a series of multiple crashes ended up blocking its entire eastbound lane, and 30 vehicles had to be detoured around the crash scene. High winds caused blowing snow and near-zero visibility driving conditions at the time of the crashes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0There also were several crashes on I-29 just south of the Canadian border. A 53-year-old man from Winnipeg, Manitoba, died when he left his vehicle and was struck by a semitrailer.<\/p>\n

In Jamestown police report “fender bender,” type accidents, and some motorist vehicle had gotten stuck in the snow, and on disabled vehicle reported.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON, D.C.\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 U.S. Senators Heidi Heitkamp and John Hoeven, as well as Congressman Kevin Cramer, made a strong case to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for regular and dependable air service to Devils Lake and Jamestown Regional Airports.<\/p>\n

The delegation also addressed potential concerns that have been raised regarding the approval of Essential Air Service (EAS) contracts that provide reliable service for Jamestown and Devils Lake. EAS often supports economic development and job creation by enabling businesses to more easily access rural communities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Hoeven<\/a>Additionally, on Monday, January 27, 2014, \u00a0Heitkamp and Hoeven will host Susan Kurland, DOT Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs, in Heitkamp\u2019s office to discuss recent challenges regarding the current air service to the communities and express their interest in a reliable service being approved for the communities. A representative from Congressman Kevin Cramer\u2019s office will also attend the meeting. Devils Lake Mayor Richard Johnson and Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen<\/strong>, along with the communities\u2019 airport authority leadership,<\/strong> will participate in the meeting as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Devils Lake and Jamestown have experienced numerous problems with their current EAS contract, and have communicated an interest in pursuing a new route option to Denver, which will provide a competitive option for customers. Because there are fewer regular routes to Denver from North Dakota, the airports would be well positioned to attract ridership to the nearest major western hub and subsequent connecting cities,\u201d the Delegation wrote to Secretary Foxx.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Bismarck (CSi) The National Weather Service in Bismarck has issued the Flood Outlook for the spring of 2014, which says the flood risk for the James River basin<\/strong> is normal to slightly elevated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greatest contributor to the existing risk is this past wet fall, and a series of warm spells during an otherwise colder than normal winter, which has led to a frozen soil surface. That, greatly lowers the ability of the soil to retain much of the runoff from snowmelt and early spring rains.<\/p>\n

The Weather Service adds, the outlook does not include the risk factor of ice jams or other ice affected high water.<\/p>\n

It says there is reason to believe that the colder than normal winter, thus far, has produced a thicker sheet of ice on backwater areas, of all streams which could be problematic if the region experiences and early runoff, combined with rain.<\/p>\n

The snow received thus far has generally been lower in water equivalent due to the colder temperatures.<\/p>\n

Greg Gust and Mike Lukes with the National Weather Service say most Minnesota and North Dakota tributaries will likely have minor to moderate flooding.<\/p>\n

\"SheyenneRiverFlood1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lukes says its early in the game but as of today the chances for moderate and major flooding in Valley City<\/strong> and Lisbon is less than 5 percent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A moderate flood potential is possible for most of the Red River main stem. And a rise of 1 to 1 1\/2 feet is expected on Devils Lake.<\/p>\n

They say soils and streams are a bit \u201cwet\u201d in the far southern basin but otherwise near normal. The water content is generally running a bit low. And the rest of winter is likely to be colder than normal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Jamestown (CSi) Paws4WARD, The Anne Carlsen Center, and Guide Dogs in Jud are raising funds to provide service dogs to four veterans in the Wounded Warriors project.On Friday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Shelley Nanenga \u2013 Service Dogs for America, and Karmel Wanzek –\u00a0Paws4WARD, talked about a fundraising event set for Sunday February 9<\/strong>, 2014, from 2-6-p.m., at Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.Shelley said a bill passed in the 2013 North Dakota legislative session set aside dollars to help sponsor four service dogs for vets with PTSD.The amount does not cover the total cost of each dog, which can be as high as $20,000.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Karmel said, a creation of the Dale Carnegie program, Paws4WARD has developed the Purses for a Purpose, a purse exchange where new and gently used designer purses are exchanged, with general admission at $20, and the VIP admission of $25, which allows early entrance to the purse exchange. No reservations will be taken, and only 200 tickets will be sold. 100% of funds raised goes to veterans, in need of service dogs.Tickets can be ordered by calling Crystal Nehlich at 701-845-2712, or Shelley Nanenga at 701-658-0330, Quality Inn & Suites, First Community Credit Union in Jamestown, Unison Bank in Jamestown, and Dacotah Bank in Valley City. Call 701-658-0330 to have a purse picked up. Also E-Mail Shelley at: shelley@servicedogsforamerica.org<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
They pointed out that several sponsors have come on board, and there will be a silent auction, champagne, and hor de\u2019ourves at the event. More sponsors are being accepted.More fundraisers are planned, to reach the goal of providing the four service dogs and the balance of the costs not covered in the legislative designation, which is divided among four programs in North Dakota.Upcoming fundraisers planned include Pennys for Paws, and a dart tournament with dates and locations to be announced.<\/div>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple says state agencies are monitoring natural gas supplies in eastern North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Xcel Energy is asking customers in North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin to conserve natural gas after a Saturday pipeline explosion in Manitoba.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple says state officials are working with local officials, health care providers and utilities in eastern North Dakota on contingency plans should there be heat shortages. He says the National Guard and Highway Patrol are ready to respond if needed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Xcel says one of three pipelines that have been out of service is being returned to service and should reach full capacity by Monday afternoon. But spokesman Kent Larson says things won’t be back to normal until the gas is delivered to the region, and demand remains high due to subzero temperatures.<\/div>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Mercer County officials used an air boat to rescue a Beulah man whose pickup fell through the ice at Lake Sakakawea.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0 57-year-old Duane Otto was plucked from atop the partially submerged pickup on Friday night.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Otto says warm temperatures on Friday may have caused the ice conditions to weaken.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mercer County Sheriff Dean Danzeisen says county rescue personnel are evaluating whether it’s possible to retrieve Otto’s pickup from the big lake.<\/div>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – With a deadline for comments approaching, North Dakota’s congressional delegation is pressing the Obama administration to reverse proposed changes that would significantly reduce the amount of ethanol in the country’s fuel supply.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Environmental Protection Agency announced in November it was proposing reductions by nearly 3 billion gallons in the amount of biofuels required to be blended into gasoline in 2014.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A deadline for comments on the proposed change is Tuesday. North Dakota’s delegation has pressed federal officials to reverse their proposed changes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The latest push came last week. Sens. John Hoeven, a Republican, and Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat, signed onto a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy saying changes would make the U.S. more reliant on foreign oil and would hurt farmers and small-town economies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0CHICAGO (AP) – The Upper Midwest is bracing itself for a big fall today. Arctic air is expected to bring in another deep freeze, sending wind chills plummeting to minus 40 degrees in some places. School is canceled today in Chicago and other areas. Forecasters say it’s a persistent cold pattern and not a polar vortex, a system of winds that circulate around the North Pole.
