Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 711cm

Posted on Thursday 25th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Those wintery temperatures are still with us and this morning and -17c was recorded at the top of the resort. There is not really anything to report in the way of fresh snow as only 1cm was recorded in the village. Perhaps there will be a bit more on the mountain, but nothing to get excited about today. There is plenty of blue showing through the partially cloudy skies. Like yesterday the blue will likely disappear during the morning leaving overcast skies. Visibility is excellent this morning.


For the rest of the week it is expected similarly chilly temperatures will persist with continuous light snow. The heaviest falls of snow are predicted for tonight and Friday night. Fingers crossed for a decent top up.
