Posted on Sunday 16th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Well those winds tricked us yesterday and didn't lift as expected leaving us with the Gondola closed. This week we will see some more wind but right now the flags are still, the temperature is perfect and over night we got another easy 10cm of new snow. The snow should continue to lightly fall all morning changing to a cloudy afternoon.
We should be blessed with more snow over the next couple of days and hopefully the wind won't spoil things. However there is a chance that it could pick up as early as this afternoon but the likelihood is tomorrow will be the day most affected.
