The bright sun and clear skies were routine, but the cold was not, as Californians bundled up with sweaters and gloves and stocked up on firewood Friday to brace for several nights of freezing temperatures.

Zookeepers turned up the heat for chimpanzees in San Diego, and tourists covered their hands on Hollywood walking tours. Still, the cold snap wasn't enough to throw many off their strides.

"We love our 75-degree weather," said Tami Walker, 50, of Ventura. "Any time it gets cooler than that, everyone says, 'Oh, it's getting cooler.' If it starts to drizzle, people call each other and say, 'Run to the window.'"
