Posted on Sunday 12th November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was a bit of an extreme weather event with strong winds for the whole afternoon. The wind was accompanied by driving rain, which morphed into sleet later in the afternoon. This morning Furano is in a totally calm state with nice sunshine beaming through the breaks in the cloud. The town has received a substantial 7cm of snow overnight which has settled on the ground. This is the first significant snowfall of the season. There is still plenty of warmth in the ground so the white roads will retreat back to tar seal fairly quickly.
The resort has a tentative opening date of 25 November 2017 subject to conditions.
