CNN) -- A blizzard warning remains in effect in parts of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota where heavy snow caused the roof of the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to collapse, a spokesman for the Minnesota State Patrol said Sunday.

The National Weather Service issued an alert Sunday for parts of the three states and regions along the Mississippi River, warning travelers of hazardous conditions caused by heavy snow, fierce winds and subzero temperatures.

In Minneapolis, the roof of the city's 64,000-seat football stadium caved in, its iconic dome no longer visible after more than 17 inches of snow blanketed the Twin Cities since Friday.
Concerns about the stadium's Teflon-covered inflatable dome surfaced Friday night, prompting officials to postpone a football game between the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings.

The Giants were stranded at Kansas City International Airport in Missouri on Saturday, unable to get to Minnesota because of the snow, said team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste.
A blizzard warning, issued by the National Weather Service, stretched from South Dakota to Wisconsin and down to Missouri and Illinois. The storm was expected to dump between 15 and 20 inches of snow in some locales.

"It's looking very frightening," said Amrita Mukherjee of Minneapolis, Minnesota. "It's terrible. Since morning, it's been snowing heavily and the wind is really strong. And each hour, it's getting even worse."
Scores of roads in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa are closed, according to those states' transportation departments.

I saw that vid this morning. So crazy. I had no idea mn was getting so much snow

Pretty much sums up the year for Vikings. A year of collapses.

Oh snap. I thought it was only b/c the G's were stranded in KC. Holy crap.

I saw that footage on the Fox NFL pre game show and one of the guys had a great quote "That footage looks like it was directed by James Cameron.".

Damnnn, that sucks!

It does look like that vid is straight out of a movie.

Did you guys notice the dude in the golf cart hauling ass on the far sideline once the roof starts collapsing?

This was all a ploy to rest Favre.
