Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 299cm

Posted on Sunday 26th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Great to see snow this morning and as planned it is enough to bring conditions back up a notch up there after it was getting heavy and sticky yesterday.


Still not quite enough to get the powder flowing through the ankles but it should continue today on and off lightly and tonight we should see some decent centimetres to start the week as one we haven't seen for a couple.


Temps are pleasant and currently -5c
