St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter and his Minneapolis counterpart Jacob Frey on Sunday led east-versus-west snowball-fighting teams in what was billed as the Bold North Snowball Challenge at Como Park in St. Paul.

This seemed like a good way to blow off some steam, and the combatants certainly had plenty of ammunition after an overnight snowfall.
