Minneapolis vs. St. Paul: Snowballs fly amid wild winds
Whipping winds and frigid temperatures didn't stop dozens of people from taking part in a big snowball fight in St. Paul on Sunday afternoon.
It started as a friendly challenge from St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey last week.
You could say things snowballed from there... into a community event at McMurray Fields at Como Regional Park, on a "battlefield" created by St. Paul parks staff.
City leaders faced off in the first round of hurling snowballs. That was followed by another round for kids and a third for adults.
The snowball challenge ended in a tie.
