Metrodome Collapses as Snowstorm Moves Through Midwest

A massive snowstorm has been moving through the Midwest this weekend, and Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle has declared a state of emergency for 72 counties as power outages sweep through the state, parts of which have already received up to 18.5 inches of snow since Friday. The National Weather Service is reporting a slight decrease in snowfall intensity by late Sunday, but, needless to say, most folks in Wisconsin will be staying indoors with hot chocolate today. In addition to Wisconsin, the snowstorm hit parts of Iowa and Minnesota, where pounding snow caused the roof of the Metrodome in Minneapolis to collapse, causing the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings game to be rescheduled.
