November is going to end in a bad weather note here in Jersey City. The morning started with rain, but it slowly downgraded to drizzle. At 10AM today, the current temperature is at 37 degrees Fahrenheit, but it will climb to mid-40's as the day progresses.I will be surprised to see sunshine today, as the skies look very gray.
