Minneapolis is shut down right now due to the weather. Airport is closed at the moment and looks like it might remain that way for the rest of the day.
The Giants left Newark this morning early trying to get there, but got diverted to Kansas City instead.

The New York Giants have landed in Kansas City, a destination they weren't planning on when they began their journey toward Minnesota.
The Giants' team plane was diverted due to a blizzard that iscurrently wreaking havoc in Minnesota, according to team spokesman PatHanlon. The Minneapolis-St. Paul airport was closed because of heavysnow and high winds.
It's unclear when the Giants will be able toresume their travel plans. They're scheduled to play the Vikings at theMetrodome on Sunday at 1 p.m. EST.
Two feet of snow is expectedfrom this storm, which caused the Giants to change their plans once,earlier on Saturday morning. They left New Jersey around 9:30 a.m.,about 3 1/2 hours earlier than their usual charter flights. They hopedto get to Minnesota before the worst of the storm.
The storm is expected to end later Saturday, but for now, the Giants are stuck in Kansas City.
