Posted on Thursday 24th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
There has been a snowstorm overnight with moderate snowfall and strong winds. On the ground there is 14cm of fresh snow in the Kitanomine village. The temperatures are quite mild at -5c and this mean the fresh snow is a lot heavier than normal. The snow has stopped for now but moderate winds are still with us and are forecast to be around until tonight. A good dump of snow like this will help reset the off piste areas that have been tracked out recently.
