The extra low tides gave Jennifer Smallwood a chance to see an Abalone “walk!”

Jennifer Smallwood was at Arena Cove last weekend during the very low tides, the opposite of the King tides. The intertidal zone revealed quite a few Abalone in that cove.

Here's a look at a Red Abalone waiting for the tide to come back, taken a few years ago by Chris Wall.

And here is the short video Jennifer took of the Abalone "on the move." Abalone slowing moving by Jennifer Smallwood

Thanks to Chris for allowing me to share her photo and to Jennifer for allowing me to share her video with you here.

Rain total from yesterday was 0.32 inches. Season to date 4.54 inches. Cold today (43 degrees this morning) with quite a few clouds this afternoon. A big river-of-rain event is headed our way beginning late Tuesday night. The fire department is warning folks to stay off the roads Wednesday and Thursday. YIKES!
