Are you tired of the snow yet?

The latest winter storm dumped an additional 4.3 inches of snow on Williston during the 24-hour period ending at 6 a.m. Friday, giving the city a 13-inch overall blanket of the white stuff that now awaits high winds to blow it around.

Since Thursday, the Williams County Highway Department has received numerous calls on vehicles stuck in ditches and is asking people "to slow down and drive for the conditions," said North Dakota Highway Patrol Williston District Office Capt. Alan Billehus Friday morning.

"The best thing is to use the 511 system – that's basically to dial 511 – and you can pick (conditions for) roads and sections of roads," Billehus added.

The 511 advisory system, as well as the North Dakota Department of Transportation's Web site, have the most up-to-date information on weather and road conditions, Billehus said.

He also advises drivers to watch for road changes, as not all roads have been cleared.

"It could be good in one section and then one mile down the road it's not, so that's a big thing," Billehus added.

No major accidents or injuries have been reported since yesterday in Williams County or Williston, said Billehus and Williston Police Department Chief Jim Lokken.

"The roads are not that bad right now," Billehus added.

He said road crews are acting quickly to clear highways.

Lokken advises people to stay home until Williston Public Works has a chance to remove snow from through streets.

Also, "slow down and take your time," Lokken added.

The National Weather Service in Bismarck reported Friday that Bismarck received 3 inches of snow from this storm that also blanketed the southwest corner of the state with a solid sheet of ice after rain fell there most of Thursday evening. The NDDOT advised no travel in the region Thursday evening, including Interstate 94 west from Richardton to the Montana border, due to freezing rain and snow. The NDDOT removed the no travel warning and replaced it with a travel alert Friday morning.

The Associated Press reported Friday morning that streets and major roads in Ward County were blocked early Friday, and authorities advised no travel in the county or in the city of Minot. The NDDOT issued a no travel advisory for U.S. Highway 83 from Max to Minot Friday morning due to blowing snow and heavy snow on roadways. The NDDOT hoped to have the roadways cleared by 10 a.m.

The National Weather Service said the Minot area got almost a foot of snow, and it was expecting about 2 inches more.

“The Minot Police Department received numerous reports of vehicles currently being stuck or trapped in snowy areas, even on some of the main streets,” Police Sgt. Chad Eagleson said.

Part of U.S. Highway 83 was blocked by vehicles as well, he said.

“With the winds going to be picking up, the travel is not going to be any better or any easier just because it’s daylight,” Eagleson said.

Schools in Minot were closed. Authorities also advised no travel in Burke, Divide, McHenry and Renville counties.

The forecast for the northwest corner of the state includes a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. today with another 2 inches of snow possible as temperatures are to fall throughout the day. Northwest winds are expected to reach 30 mph, which could cause limited visibility on area roads.

Temperatures are expected to fall to 5 below tonight with a respite coming Saturday as it's supposed to be partly sunny with highs around 20 above and winds decreasing to 5-10 mph from the southwest.
