Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 718cm

Posted on Saturday 27th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Furano.


There's just 1cm of fresh snow to report this morning, just a dusting. The sky is overcast and it is currently snowing lightly, but it's very fine flakes so I wouldn't expect much in terms of accumulation.


No wind this morning and -10c in the village, with cloud/fog halfway down the mountain.


Still looks like we might get some clearer weather tomorrow but the snow clouds shouldn't be far away during the coming week.
