Minnesotans Head Out To Patios, Rooftops On #Top10WeatherDay

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –- The warm and sunny weather had a lot of people out on rooftops and patios for the first time this spring.

Phil and his wife, Karen, have a date night at Psycho Suzi's in northeast Minneapolis once a month, but on Tuesday, they made it for the lunch hour to catch some sun.

"It's a beautiful, lovely day, and I have this gorgeous woman with me," said Phil, of Oak Grove.

With Tuesday's high reaching 12 degrees above average, WCCO-TV's meteorologists declared it a Top 10 Weather Day.

Just up the street from Psycho Suzi's is a new restaurant from the same restaurateur. It's called Betty Danger's Country Club.

The restaurant was busy getting ready to show off its anticipated main attraction, "The Mechanical Tree." It's a ferris wheel that promises to give customers the chance to dine, drink, and soak up skyline views of the city.

It opens to the public on Wednesday.

But if being on the ground is more your thing, it didn't matter if you were walking, running or biking, Minnesotans took comfort in knowing -- or hoping -- the winter weather is over.
