Mother Nature got really flaky Thursday as the city went from record-breaking warmth to a winter wonderland in less than 24 hours.
Wednesday broke a 52-year record with a 62-degree high, allowing New Yorkers to shed their layers and enjoy the outdoors. But by Thursday, people were bundled up and trudging through snow.
