Posted on Wednesday 10th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was a day that defined variable. It was foggy on mountain with moderate winds and limited visibility in the morning, then by late morning the winds had dropped and blue sky appeared. If you thought it was warm yesterday you were right, with temperature suddenly rising to +1c at midday and staying there for the afternoon.
This morning is calm, although moderate winds are on the forecast. Maybe the weather guy got it wrong. There has been 8cm of accumulation of pretty heavy snow in the village. Up higher on the mountain it will definitely be lighter though. Temperatures are still pretty warm with -1c here in the village at 8am.
From Friday evening the forecast is still predicting a tropical event, and heavy rain for Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
