Much of Valley City without power

VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) — Five inches of wet, heavy snow is causing big problems in Valley City.

Barnes County sheriff’s dispatcher Holly Neuberger says tree branches that broke and brought down power lines knocked out electricity to much of the city.

The outages started late Wednesday afternoon and worsened overnight. Crews were working Thursday morning to get power restored.

Outages also are affecting some outlying areas.
