Posted at 9:58am on Thursday 20th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


It is currently snowing lightly and there has been a couple of centimetres accumulation on the ground in the village. It looks like it will continue to snow lightly throughout the day so it will be one of those days with a constant fresh layer of powder being continually draped across the runs. Temperatures are once again in the double negatives, and with the breeze it does feel on the chilly side.
