The Garden State enjoyed some unseasonably warm temperatures Monday.

The day's high temperatures peaked at 69 degrees, about 10-15 degrees higher than normal for this time of year. New Jersey residents took advantage of the beautiful weather by leaving their coats at home and getting some sunshine.

Golfers turned up in droves at the Passaic County golf course - creating a backlog for tee times. Hundreds of others flocked to the shore.

"Feels good ...we know it's going to get cold very soon," said Robert Holmes, of Belmar.
