Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 375cm

Posted on Tuesday 4th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Wintery cold is the feeling that will hit when you step outside today with temperatures feeling rather chilly at -11c and will be like this until the end of the week.


There has been a few cm of new snow which has put a nice layer of fresh powder on top of perfectly groomed runs.


The weather is cloudy at the moment, and it is unlikely the cloud will break up and allow the sun through.
