BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Power outages in the Dakotas caused by a
late January ice storm followed by a blizzard are down to fewer
than 100 rural electric customers.
Crews in North Dakota are working late this week to restore
power to 35 homes. In South Dakota, The Rural Electric Association
says only about 60 homes remain in the dark. At the peak of the
outages, more than 20,000 people in the two states were without
electricity.
The National Weather Service says another weather system has
moved into the Northern Plains that could bring half a foot of snow
to some areas. But ice and strong winds that can lead to downed
power lines are not in the forecast.
