Good afternoon! Dan Hansen has one wheely unusual way for getting around Minneapolis. Hansen has been riding to work on his unicycle almost every day for the last three and a half years. "I don't think there's any poor weather to ride a unicycle in," he said. He also doesn't think there's anything strange or impractical about his vehicle choice — but knows people will always snap pictures out of their car windows as he passes. "Some people are revolted, some people are horrified, some people are charmed." | Forecast

Good morning! Sunny with highs ranging from the single digits to midteens up north, to the 20s in the south.
