ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN
The good news... NYC residents are experiencing the warmest temperatures in over 3 months.
The bad news is that it will not last and mother nature will probably complicate this weekend weather,
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut residents are enjoying in the warmest weather in more than three months, as the thermometer is expected to climb to 60 degrees.
This is a high temperature not seen since Christmas Day. The mercury spike won't last, though, so get out NOW!!!
