SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Much of the Dakotas could be in store for significant snowfall by midweek.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service has posted winter storm watches and advisories in the western and central portions of the two states and into eastern North Dakota Tuesday into Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Forecasters say a foot or more of snow could fall in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota. Other areas could see about half a foot of snow. Freezing drizzle also could fall in parts of the two states.<\/p>\n
The weather service says there is no arctic air moving down with the system, so high temperatures will remain in the 20s and 30s and wind chills likely will stay above zero. It could be breezy, though, with blowing snow that could hamper motorists.<\/p>\n

UPDATE…<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Council met in Special Session Monday morning at City Hall. The meeting was geared for the council to take such action as necessary concerning personnel issues and, or city staffing. All members were present.<\/p>\n
Reed Schwartzkopf has announced his resignation, immediately, as Jamestown City Engineer. The City Council accepted his resignation, dated December 14, 2015. His letter read that Schwartzkopf appreciated the opportunity to work with city officials, and wished the city well.<\/p>\n
Security concerns have been addressed. He turned in his City Hall keys, and computer passwords were being changed.<\/p>\n
Schwartzkopf has held the position since June, 2008.<\/p>\n
Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen said the resignation came after city officials performed an annual job performance review.<\/p>\n
At the meeting she said that the city will decide on it\u2019s next move to temporarily fill the full time position.<\/p>\n
She added that the city has contracts for engineering services, that will be implemented by the City Administrator, in the interim.<\/p>\n
The meeting was shown live on CSi 67 followed by replays.<\/p>\n
During the years of flood fighting in Jamestown in 2009, 2010 and 2011, Schwartzkopf worked on behalf of the city, with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, along with the National Guard, and other agencies in sandbagging efforts along with volunteers to protect the city when the water flows released by the Jamestown and Pipestems Dams were at a record high, leading to high James River flows and levels through Jamestown, that over-flowed the river banks.<\/p>\n
In August of 2011 due to excessive rain north of Jamestown, sandbagging took place in Jamestown, primarily under Schwartzkopf\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n
Stutsman County Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist adds, that in 2009 Schwartzkopf was integral in the flood fight, due to his hydrological knowledge of water control. He said in 2009 Schwartzkopf found errors in the Corp of Engineers computations of water flow. Bergquist added that if the error was not caught and changed, that the north part of Jamestown would have had the dikes over-topped causing severe flooding.<\/p>\n
Schwartzkopf also worked with FEMA officials concerning federal help and securing federal funding for the flood fight.<\/p>\n
His knowledge also was invaluable in the flood fight, working with engineering firms and contractors, concerning the sanitary sewer lift stations issues with flood water, and later, in replacing a large lift station at the Jamestown Business Center parking lot, and other issues to control problems with the sanitary sewer becoming infiltrated with flood water, and subsequent replacing of a large section of the city\u2019s sanitary sewer piping.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Bismarck (CSi) With the potential for much of the state to experience winter road conditions, the next few days, the North Dakota Highway Patrol urges all motorists to drive with care, buckle up and obey posted speed limits. If road conditions deteriorate, motorists should drive for the conditions and have a winter travel kit in their vehicles. Motorists should be prepared to share the road with snow plows and other maintenance equipment.<\/p>\n
So far this year, 124 people have died in traffic crashes in the state. With the potential for snow covered and icy roads, please take the necessary precautions to arrive at your destination safely. This holiday season, please remember to drive safely, wear your seatbelt, and never drink and drive.<\/p>\n
Road information can be checked by dialing 511, using the smartphone app or accessing the DOT\u2019s travel information map at www.dot.nd.gov<\/a>. The latest road reports available on line at CSiNewsNow.com Troopers will continue with proactive enforcement through the end of the year. All traffic laws will be strictly enforced in an effort to save lives.<\/span><\/p>\n
