Messy in Minneapolis after clipper

It was messy in downtown Minneapolis after an Alberta clipper brought over 5 inches of snow. Drivers struggled on a hill in the downtown area. While the snow has ended, frigid air has moved in just in time for the weekend.

A wintry mess unfolded in Minneapolis on Thursday after over 5 inches of snow fell. Drivers struggled to get up and down a snow-covered hill after the city's first big snowstorm of the season. This clipper brought inches of snow to parts of the northern Plains and Midwest.
