Posted at 10:54am on Saturday 16th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


A few centimeters of fresh fell overnight, but other than that, there is not too much to report on this beautiful Saturday morning.


Overnight lows were cold in the mid-minus teens, but have already warmed up to -6, thanks to the Sun who is out and doing his thing. Partly cloudy skies and on/off snow showers should continue for the rest of the day, but nothing too major seems to be in store weatherwise. Winds are light and variable; all in all, a lovely day for some skiing.


Tomorrow looks like it's going to be cloudy and cold, with Winter still well-entrenched in Furano. If you're looking for the blue-bird skiing action, today is your day.
