Metrodome Roof Collapses Due to Blizzard

The Metrodome, home to the Minneapolis Vikings, is known for being able to handle massive amounts of snow. However, this weekend's blizzard in the Midwest may actually be too much even for the Metrodome! According to KARE-TV and ESPN, the roof of the Metrodome has collapsed due to heavy snow and winds.

The collapsed reportedly happened around 5 a.m. Sunday morning. The teflon roof is an inflatable roof which covers the Mall of America field during inclement weather.

According to Roy Terwilliger, chair of the Metropolitan Facilities Commission, there are an unknown number of tears in the roof. One of those tears is in the middle of the roof and allowed some snow and ice to spill onto the playing field.

A KARE-TV photographer, reporting from the scene, says the dome caved in so that it was not visible from ground level. Usually, you can see the dome of the roof from the outside, as seen in the photo below.

The Metrodome was scheduled to be the site of a Monday night NFL game between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants. However, the NFL says the Metrodome will not be able to host the game. They're exploring other options for the Vikings-Giants game.

As of Sunday morning, there are no reports of injuries. The Weather Channel and weather.com will have frequent updates on this story as it develops. (1 image)

Snow is a Key feature of Climate Change.

Look forward to more. 8D

Today’s atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of 392 parts per million is here to stay, yet most climate scientists concur that human societies cannot persist, long-term, at concentrations exceeding 350 ppm.

Have you noticed a set of patterns? Each assessment is quickly eclipsed by another, fundamentally more dire set of scenarios. Every scenario is far too optimistic because each is based on conservative approaches to scenario development. And every bit of dire news is met by the same political response.

Is there any doubt we will try to kill every species on the planet, including our own, by the middle of this century? At this point, it is absolutely necessary, but perhaps not sufficient, to bring down the industrial economy. It’s no longer merely the lives of your grandchildren we’re talking about. Depending on your age, it’s the lives of your children or you. If you’re 60 or younger, it’s you.
