Posted on Saturday 12th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
There is a bit of a breeze out there this morning which may be a bit strong at certain places on the resort. A nice new dusting of 3cm has accumulated overnight and it is still snowing, although very lightly. While overcast at the moment I think there is a good chance some sun may break through later in the morning but we can't expect a day as stunning as it was yesterday. The snow clearing crew cleared the snowbanks of the main street of the resort yesterday making things feel very wide and spacious. Those banks will start to build up again over the next couple of weeks as winter roles on.
