Minneapolis officials want residents to look up when they're walking outside.
Higher-than-normal temperatures on Wednesday were causing heavy chunks of ice and snow to fall from buildings.
Minneapolis Assistant Fire Chief Cherie Penn tells KSTP-TV ice and snow is falling off of many of the city's buildings with angled roof tops or buildings with unusual exteriors.
Beth Towl of Minneapolis tells KSTP she now knows the dangers of falling ice and snow. She was hit in the shoulder as she walked out of Minneapolis City Hall.
