[QUOTE="Bfishn, post: 394974, member: 2006"] Recent cold weather has started producing small sheets of ice moving through the Bismarck/Mandan area on the Missouri River. Even colder weather beginning late Wednesday, and lasting well into the third full week of January, will increase the production of ice on the river. Currently, there is significant open water south of Bismarck. However, the ice sheets traditionally get caught in the Missouri River bends near the University of Mary. As the sheets of ice accumulate, they substantially restrict flow in the river and often cause a rapid rise in water levels near the ice. Historically, this rise has been between 5 and 7 feet. The current water level at the Bismarck gage on the Missouri River is at 4.9 feet. As ice accumulates, a rapid rise to a water level between 9.5 and 12 feet is likely. Once the ice starts accumulating south of Bismarck, water levels often rise to their maximum level in less than 24 hours. Residents near the river should be watchful of rapidly changing conditions and report any problematic high water to your local emergency manager. [/QUOTE]
