Cold weather in many places in America means fires in fireplaces, hot cocoa and huddling up inside.
Cold weather in San Diego means volleyball, beach volleyball!
"It's just what we do, " said Susie Walton.
Walton, who is the mother of Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton and former wife of NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton, didn't let temperatures in the low to mid 50's stop her and her friends from playing their normal morning beach volleyball match.
""It's cold at first, then you warm up," said player Kim Zevin.
When asked about the cold, Walton answered with some serious sarcasm, "It's freezing cold for Southern California, you know that."
Playing on the beach barefoot, in shorts and even a bikini, the volleyball players did atleast bring their cold weather gear. Beside the court were warm UGG Boots, coffee, and layers of clothing.

"Totally bundled up, everything it takes to stay warm on a cold San Diego day," said Walton.
After the match, the ladies grabbed thier fins and bathing suits and cooled down with an ocean swim. The ocean temperature was 61 degrees, actually warmer than the outside temperature.
Beach volleyball in shorts and ocean swims, just another example of local residents braving a "cold" December day in San Diego.
