Snow and strong winds from Gandolf will wind down by Saturday afternoon in the Northern Plains. Additional accumulations should be minor, but gusty winds will continue to contribute to blowing snow and dangerous travel in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota through the morning.

Gandolf brought heavy snow and blizzard conditions in spots from the northern/central Rockies starting on January 9 and then shifted slowly east into the Northern Plains by January 12. Below are some of the storm reports and snow totals from Gandolf:

Heaven Letters Published on: January 12, 2013

God said:

Speak to Me with your eyes. Beautiful Beings, look up at where you think I am. Look up at where you think I’m not. Wherever you look, I AM. I am not hidden from you. Of course, I am not physically visible unless you come to see Me through the images of other human beings before you. In fact, all the physical others also happen to be you.

 

The physical is a mere drop in the bucket, and you do recognize more than the physical. I am Eternal as you are Eternal. Your body is not eternal. Your body is a trifle that fills in for a while, for an interlude in which you see That Which you already know intimately. You do know Me. You do know yourself only you think I am across from you.

A moderate but impulsive M-class solar flare measuring M1.2 erupted from big Active Region 1654 on January 11, 2013 at 09:11 UTC. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is expected as ejecta has been observed exiting the blast area.  A Type II and Type IV Radio Emissions were associated with the event. AR 1654 is rotating into more geoeffective position and has beta-gamma magnetic configuration capable of producing more M-class flares. Watch out for this region in the coming days. The event started at 08:43, peaked at 09:11 and ended at 09:17 UTC. *** Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP4 Serial Number: 399 Issue...

Active Region 1654 erupted with second M-class solar flare of the day. On January 11, 2013 at 15:07 UTC a moderate solar flare measuring M1.0 was recorded. This latest event started at 14:51, peaked at 15:07 and ended at 15:24 UTC. Earlier today we had a moderate but impulsive M-class solar flare measuring M1.2. The flare erupted from same region (AR 1654) at 09:11 UTC. Region 1654 is now classified with beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration and is becoming more geoeffective as it rotates into direct Earth view. This region is capable of producing strong solar flares and will pose a threat in the coming days.  ...Active Region 1654 erupted with second M-class solar flare of the day.

Tropical Cyclone Narelle is spinning out to sea west of Western Australia as it reached Category 3 status with wind gusts near center at 285 km/h (177 mph). Narelle is moving slightly southwestward and will maintain that bearing for the next few days before heading due south and rounding the continent’s southwest in the coming days. The storm’s bands to the southeast are drawing desert sand off land out into the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, Australia is battering with catastrophic bushfires after unprecedented record-high temperatures. The high temperatures and dryness of the region create prime conditions for fires.
