Bostonians are enjoying an early preview of spring today, after temperatures soared to a record-breaking 66 degrees.

Thursday’s unusually warm temperatures surpassed the previous February 23 record of 65 degrees, which was set in 1990. Residents are taking advantage of the February thaw before it’s gone–though these temps are expected to last through the weekend, next week will see a dip to normal temperatures in the city.
