Houston, we are looking good. After being closed yesterday due to wind, the resort is open today with even more new snow, so it's a double dipper day. Yipee!!
We've had almost 180 cm of snow this month, and downtown streets already look like mid-winter with big piles on the side. The smaller streets are already down to one lane. Good stuff.
However, not all is great in the land of Furano. This weekend is threatening temps of +6, +11, and +10 for Friday thru Sunday. Unbelievable bummer, man! After that things appear to return to normal. Oh well.
Only 9 more shopping days until Christmas.
Think snow and think COLD.
