Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido
New snowfall at base 7cm
Snowfall at base this season 306cm
Posted on Tuesday 10th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
It feels good to be able to report a decent amount of snow this morning, although not a mega number, 7 cm at village level is significant and I would expect up to 15cm on the mountain. More important than today's 7cm though is the fact that there will be continuous snow for the next 6 days at least. Don't expect too much in the way of sun over the next 6 days as it is likely to be overcast each day.
The weather is being nice today as well, being mostly cloudy, but some pretty big gaps in the clouds are letting good lighting through so there are no issues with visibility as I write this report now.
