Posted on Friday 13th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
After checking for a second time incase I had misread it, "wow" is what I uttered as I confirmed the thermometer was showing -24c in the village and -26c on the resort. Now that is cold! Yesterday was cold, but 10c lower than yesterday is taking cold to a completely different level. These are the kinds of days where the little heat packs that you can buy need to be inserted into gloves and strategically placed over your body. I suspect a few people will be deciding to invest in new gloves.
The day is a crystal clear bluebird one with great views on the resort, over the town through until Tokachidake in the distance. Great for photos but I guarantee you wont have your gloves off for long when taking out the camera. Overnight there was a very light dusting which amounted to 1cm on the village.
Tomorrow looks like it will be similar weather.
