    • I haven’t been razor clamming in the longest time. Last time I went was April 19, 2008, and it was very memorable. A very cool trough moved overhead that day (Seattle was 45/34, with a trace of snow), and one of the showers brought graupel to the beach. And then, gradually over the next 5-10 minutes or so, the beach became more and more charged, so much so that people’s hair was standing on end and I would shocked every time my toes touched the tips of my steel-toed boots. I could even hear a faint buzzing sound on my clothes… maybe a metal zipper or something. No lightning ever struck but it was quite alarming, especially since we didn’t really have any place to shelter.

      Hoping I can go again soon, and with a little less weather drama this time!
