Posted on Thursday 4th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
It is a milder day with -8c recorded in the village earlier this morning, but it has already warmed up substantially and I have just had a look at my outside thermometer which is reading -2c. The snow just seems to keep coming on a daily basis and this morning there is another 7cm to report. There is no snow falling at the moment but we can expect some light snow again from the afternoon.
Temperatures should be back to colder norms from tomorrow, and tomorrow morning looks like some moderate winds will hit the resort, reducing a little on Saturday, and then Sunday could be quite gusty.
There are ski competitions on Kitanomine at the moment and the following courses are closed:
Giant until 6/Feb
Azelia 3-6/Feb
Junior 3-6/Feb
